Antibiotic use in animals requires careful consideration to prevent resistance. Strategic treatment minimizes antibiotic transfer to uninfected animals, reducing the risk of antimicrobial resistance spread to humans.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Microbiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Routine antibiotic use for growth promotion in animal agriculture is now unacceptable.
  • Infections in animal herds and flocks necessitate treatment, often involving entire populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline strategies for minimizing antibiotic resistance development during animal disease treatment.
  • To prevent the transfer of antibiotic resistance from animals to humans.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewing current practices in veterinary antibiotic administration.
  • Analyzing the risks associated with different treatment protocols.
  • Emphasizing the role of veterinary guidance in treatment strategies.

Main Results:

  • Non-targeted antibiotic administration can lead to the transfer of resistance mechanisms.
  • Careful treatment protocols are essential to reduce the spread of resistant strains.
  • Veterinary input is crucial for effective and safe antibiotic use.

Conclusions:

  • Judicious antibiotic use in veterinary medicine is critical to combat antimicrobial resistance.
  • Preventing the transfer of resistance from animal to human microbial populations is a key public health goal.
  • Collaborative efforts between veterinarians and animal producers can mitigate resistance risks.
