Terms & Conditions of Use

Antimicrobial resistance is an inevitable consequence of antimicrobial use. Retarding resistance in companion animals requires minimizing drug use and implementing surveillance programs to monitor emerging resistance patterns.

Area of Science:

Veterinary Medicine
Microbiology
Public Health

Background:

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an unavoidable outcome of antimicrobial agent use.
Minimizing antimicrobial exposure and avoiding selection for resistant strains can slow AMR emergence.
Focus on AMR in veterinary medicine has largely overlooked companion animals, despite significant antimicrobial use and potential for zoonotic transfer.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the emerging issue of antimicrobial resistance in small companion animals.
To emphasize the need for targeted surveillance programs in companion animals to combat AMR.
To underscore the potential for AMR transfer between companion animals and humans.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature on antimicrobial resistance in veterinary medicine.

Related Experiment Videos

Analysis of antimicrobial usage patterns in small companion animals.

Discussion of the implications of emerging resistance for animal and public health.

Main Results:

Antimicrobial resistance is emerging in companion animals.
There is a significant potential for the transfer of resistant strains between companion animals and humans.
Current surveillance efforts in veterinary medicine inadequately address companion animals.

Conclusions:

Effective strategies are needed to slow the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in companion animals.
Instituting surveillance programs is crucial for monitoring and managing AMR in this population.
Addressing AMR in companion animals is essential for both animal welfare and public health.
