Prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among bacterial pathogens isolated from cattle in different European countries: 2002–2004

Abstract: Background: The project "Antibiotic resistance in bacteria of animal origin -II" (ARBAO-II) was funded by the European Union (FAIR5-QLK2-2002-01146) for the period [2003][2004][2005], with the aim to establish a continuous monitoring of antimicrobial susceptibility among veterinary laboratories in European countries based on validated and harmonised methodologies. Available summary data of the susceptibility testing of the bacterial pathogens from the different laboratories were collected.

“…However, imprudent use of antimicrobials creates a high risk of selecting resistance [12,13] . Continuous monitoring of antimicrobial susceptibilities of important animal pathogens with standard methods provides useful information on trends in resistance development [14] . In practice, in the case of respiratory problems veterinarians prefer to start antimicrobial treatment immediately, before disease does not progress.…”

“…In one of the studies from Korea [109], MRSA were isolated from the milk of cows with an isolation ratio of 0.18%. In one report on dairy farms in Belgium, a high percentage (15%) of MRSA was found in lactating cows [140]; these cows had a previous history of MRSA. The long-term low prevalence of MRSA mastitis is quite surprising, given the number of years since the irst identiication of MRSA in catle and the close contact of humans with the udders of dairy catle.…”

“…In general, the occurrence of MRSA in bovine mastitis isolates is well studied and its prevalence seems to be very low [140]. Following the initial reports of isolation of MRSA from mastitic cows [86], sporadic cases of MRSA in dairy catle were detected among S. aureus isolates from clinical or subclinical mastitis.…”

“…Only occasional reports exist on dairy farms but in one study in Belgium, up to 15 % of lactating cows in herds with a previous history of MRSA were positive [23]. In general, the occurrence of MRSA in bovine mastitis isolates is well studied and its prevalence seems to be very low [24].…”
