“…Farmers, abattoir workers and food handlers as well as consumers are thus the large number of people directly at risk of acquiring antibiotic-resistant bacteria via the food chain. In the developing world, where biosecurity and food safety measures are limited along the farm-to-fork continuum and where humans interact intimately with animals and the environment, the public health risk is likely to be associated with both the direct and indirect transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and ARGs (Padungtod et al, 2008). In contrast, in developed countries, the indirect contamination seems to be more prevalent as antibiotic-resistant bacteria and ARGs emerging on-farms, are maintained throughout the food production and contaminated food products reach the end consumers to create foodborne infections (EFSA and ECDC, 2015).…”

“…In Thailand, high levels of ESBL-producing Salmonella Typhimurium in poultry (77.3%) and pigs (40.4%) were reported, with an overall 86% prevalence of MDR (Padungtod et al, 2008). In the same country, Boonyasiri et al (2014) identified elevated prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli in the food chain during the years 2012–2013, these being 77% in pigs, 40% in poultry, 77% in farmers, 76% in food handlers, 61% in pork, and 50% in chicken.…”

Antibiotics are now “endangered species” facing extinction due to the worldwide emergence of antibiotic resistance (ABR). Food animals are considered as key reservoirs of antibiotic-resistant bacteria with the use of antibiotics in the food production industry having contributed to the actual global challenge of ABR. There are no geographic boundaries to impede the worldwide spread of ABR. If preventive and containment measures are not applied locally, nationally and regionally, the limited interventions in one country, continent and for instance, in the developing world, could compromise the efficacy and endanger ABR containment policies implemented in other parts of the world, the best-managed high-resource countries included. Multifaceted, comprehensive, and integrated measures complying with the One Health approach are imperative to ensure food safety and security, effectively combat infectious diseases, curb the emergence and spread of ABR, and preserve the efficacy of antibiotics for future generations. Countries should follow the World Health Organization, World Organization for Animal Health, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations recommendations to implement national action plans encompassing human, (food) animal, and environmental sectors to improve policies, interventions and activities that address the prevention and containment of ABR from farm-to-fork. This review covers (i) the origin of antibiotic resistance, (ii) pathways by which bacteria spread to humans from farm-to-fork, (iii) differences in levels of antibiotic resistance between developed and developing countries, and (iv) prevention and containment measures of antibiotic resistance in the food chain.

“…The entry of Salmonella carrier pigs into slaughterhouses is a major source of meat contamination and of introduction of Salmonella into the food chain (McDowell et al, 2007;Käsbohrer et al, 2000;Berends et al, 1997;Padungtod et al, 2008;Padungtod et al, 2006). For this reason, several studies have investigated the Salmonella prevalence from the feces of pigs in slaughterhouses and farms (Käsbohrer et al, 2000;Lomonaco et al, 2009).…”

The objective of this study was to ascertain the nationwide prevalence and antimicrobial resistance rates of Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli amongst domesticated finisher pigs. Fecal samples (n=840) were collected at 84 slaughterhouses in Korea in May 2009. Salmonella spp. was isolated from 21 of the 840 samples (2.5%), and comprised the following isolated serotypes: Salmonella rissen, Salmonella derby, Salmonella typhimurium. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed for eight antimicrobials. Salmonella resistance was tetracycline (76.19%); nitrofurantoin (38.10%); kanamycin (33.33%); chloramphenicol, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim and cephalothin (28.57%); polymyxin B (9.52%); and ampicillin/sulbactam (4.76%), and E. coli resistance was tetracycline (87.11%); chloramphenicol (66.24%); kanamycin (51.68%); sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (51.29%); cephalothin (8.38%); nitrofurantoin (5.15%); ampicillin/sulbactam (4.64%); and polymyxin B (0.52%). Tetracycline resistance was most common. Surprisingly, 28.57 and 66.24% of the Salmonella spp. and E. coli isolates, respectively, were resistant to chloramphenicol, which has been banned from agricultural use in Korea for some time. A wide range of strains displayed multi-antimicrobial resistance: 14 out of 21 (66.66%) and 611 out of 776 (78.72%) of the Salmonella and E. coli isolates, respectively. Salmonella spp. and E. coli demonstrate an appreciable broad-spectrum, (multi)-antimicrobial resistance, which is a potential public health concern. A continuous antibiotic surveillance program may be worthwhile.

“…Based on this system, all pigs should enter and leave from the facility together at the same time and this should be applied in mating, farrowing, and nursery units. This system can help to reduce the risk of Salmonella infection since the pigs raised under the same management system are considered to have a similar disease status (Scott et al, 2006;Padungtod et al, 2008).…”

Salmonella is one of the most important food-borne zoonotic pathogens, causing acute or chronic digestive diseases such as enteritis. The acute form of enteritis is common in young pigs of 2 -4 months of age. The main symptoms include high fever (41 -42℃), loss of appetite, and increased mortality within 2 -4 days of onset of the disease. It is often the cause of increasing mortality, decreasing growth rate and reducing feed efficiency of piglets. In the case of chronic enteritis in pigs, the main symptom is weight loss due to the continuing severe diarrhea. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Salmonella enterica serovar Choleraesuis are typical pig adapted serotypes, which cause one of four major syndromes: enteric fever, enterocolitis/diarrhea, bacteremia and chronic asymptomatic carriage. These syndromes cause a huge economic burden to swine industry by reducing production. Therefore, it is necessary that swine industries should strive to decrease Salmonellosis in pigs in order to reduce economic losses. There are several measures, such as vaccination to prevent salmonellosis, that are implemented differently from country to country. For the treatment of Salmonella, ongoing antibiotic treatment is needed. However constant doses of antibiotics can be a problem because of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, the focus should be made more on prevention than treatment. In this review, we addressed the basic information about Salmonella, route of infection, clinical symptoms, and prevention of Salmonellosis.
