A Review On Antibiotics In An Animal Feed

Abstract

Food safety is a term broadly applied to food quality that may adversely affect human health. There are two major areas of concern over the presence of residues of antibiotics in animal-derived foodstuffs with regard to human health. The first is allergic reaction and the second is development of antibiotic resistance in the gut bacteria of human. Antibiotic resistance in human pathogens is now a major public health issue. Some of the resistance problem can be attributed to the transfer of resistant bacteria from animals to human and the transfer of resistance genes from animal pathogens and commensal bacteria to human pathogens. Control measures include improvements in food hygiene to reduce the spread of zoonotic bacteria to human via the food chain. However, to specifically address the issue, the livestock industries and their advisors must reduce and refine the use of antibiotics in animal production and replace antibiotics with alternative disease control measures as much as possible. In addition, the medical profession must control misuse and overuse of antibiotics in hospitals and community practice. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjas.v38i1-2.9909 BJAS 2009; 38(1-2): 22-32

Molecular characterization and antimicrobial resistance patterns of spp. and Escherichia coli of laying chicken

“…The present study revealed the patterns of multidrug resistance by both Salmonella spp. and E. coli -----100 100 100 100 Amoxicillin ----10 10 90 90 100 100 Penicillin ----10 -90 100 100 100 Cotrimoxazole 10 -10 ---80 100 100 100 Ciprofloxacin 80 50 ---10 20 40 100 100 Gentamicin 90 50 10 --10 10 40 100 100 Cephalexin 10 -20 --20 70 80 100 100 isolates of laying chicken to ampicillin (100%/100%), amoxicillin (90%/90%), penicillin (90%/100%) cotrimoxazole (80%/100%) and cephalexin (70%/80%) which are in agreement with the findings of Chowdhury et al, (2009). To deal with multi-drug resistant organisms, it is usually recommended that potentially synergistic antimicrobials combinations would be useful.…”

Therapeutic effectiveness of probiotic and phytobiotic for gastroenteritis of weaned piglets

“…Проте, їх нераціональне використання призводить до порушення мікробних екосистем травного каналу та появи у патогенних і умовно-патогенних мікроорганізмів стійкості до них (Cromwell, 2002;Chowdhury et al, 2009;Holman and Chénierab, 2015).…”

Necessary Usage of Antibiotics in Animals

“…The medical impact of previous antibiotic usage in food-producing animals Antibiotic Use in Animalson human health received little attention except for Salmonella and E. coli. E. coli may acquire resistance from the gut micro-flora of the food animal even if the antibiotic is used as a growth promoter [46]. When livestock flocks treated with sulfonamides, amino glycosides or tetracyclines, widespread resistance of bacteria was observed.…”
