“…This phenomenon occurs especially when antibiotic doses are too low or therapy is too short (1). An extremely dangerous consequence of the formation of antibiotic-resistant strains is the possibility of their transfer from animal organisms to the environment and people through direct or indirect contact with food of animal origin (9). Dairy cows and calves can be the source of many zoonotic microorganisms including bacteria from the digestive tract, such as the enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strain.…”

Due to increasing bacterial antibiotic resistance and the consumers’ tendency to choose organic products, cattle farmers are interested in alternative methods of calf diarrhoea treatment. This is a major challenge for veterinarians. Few methods of non-antibiotic treatment that bring satisfactory results have been reported in the related literature so far. In this article, the authors compare different non-antibiotic methods of diarrhoea prevention and treatment in calves. Among the alternatives discussed are herbs, probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics, lactoferrin, and bacteriophages. It was found that the best results could be achieved through the use of pro-, pre- and synbiotics. However, the authors would like to point out that with the expansion of knowledge about the practical use of broad-scale bacteriophages, they could be the best alternative to antibiotics.

“…Increase in the presence of antibiotic-and multidrug-resistant bacteria is important for the protection of human and animal health, because diseases caused by this type of bacteria do not respond to treatment, last longer and pose a much higher risk of death and economic loses. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria can also be transmitted by animals to humans -either in the food chain or during direct contact (Buczek and Marć 2009). The main sources of their origin are municipal and hospital sewage, wastewater from animal husbandry, veterinary facilities and pharmaceutical plants (Łebkowska 2009).…”

The aim of this study was to in vitro determine the antimicrobial activity of essential oil obtained from wild thyme (Thymus serpyllum) against three test microorganisms representing species: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. The research was carried out using the disk diffusion assay. The activity of TSL oil was analyzed at various concentrations ranging from 200 μL/mL to 2.0 μL/mL, assessing the diameters of zones of inhibited growth. After averaging the obtained values, the range of antimicrobial activity of TSL was determined based on reference data. TSL essential oil showed only moderate inhibitory activity against S. aureus and E. coli at concentrations of 200 and 125 μL/mL, and a large inhibitory effect against C. albicans at concentrations of 200, 125 and 62.5 μL/mL and moderate at a concentration of 31.2 μL/mL. On this basis, the MIC value was determined for the C. albicans test strain of 62.5 μL/mL, considering it the most effective. In addition, it was found that carvacrol-one of the major components of TSL-can show strong growth inhibitory effects in both fungi and bacteria selected species.
