Summary:
Concerns about the acquisition of antibiotic resistant genes in human and animal pathogens is one of the main public health issues. The problem of the emergence of resistant microorganisms such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) associated to livestock is closely linked to high use of antimicrobial agents in veterinary care, and international trade of food of animal origin which can encourage the spread of resistant strains. Drug-resistant bacteria may circulate in human and animal populations trough food, water and the environment, and its transmission is encouraged by trade, travel, human migration and transhumance

Antimicrobial use and resistance in swine waste treatment systems by Jindal, A., Kocherginskaya, S., Mehboob, A., Robert, M., Mackie, R. I., Raskin, L., & Zilles, J. L. 2006 Applied and Environmental Microbiology 72: 7813-7820

Species targeted: Pigs;
Age: Not stated;
Summary:
Chlortetracycline and the macrolide tylosin were identified as commonly used antimicrobials for growth promotion and prophylaxis in swine production. Resistance to these antimicrobials was measured throughout the waste treatment processes at five swine farms by culture-based and molecular methods. Conventional farm samples had the highest levels of resistance with both culture-based and molecular methods and had similar levels of resistance despite differences in antimicrobial usage. The levels of resistance in organic farm samples, where no antimicrobials were used, were very low by a culture-based method targeting fecal streptococci. The levels of tetracycline and MLSB resistance remained high throughout the waste treatment systems, suggesting that the potential impact of land application of treated wastes and waste treatment by-products on environmental levels of resistance should be investigated further.

Sewage sludge and liquid pig manure as possible sources of antibiotic resistant bacteria
by Hölzel, C. S., Schwaiger, K., Harms, K., Küchenhoff, H., Kunz, A., Meyer, K., … Bauer, J. (2010). 2010 Environmental Research 110: 318-326
In Significant Impact Groups: Pathogen management \ Prudent use AB
Species targeted: Pigs;
Age: Not stated;
Summary:
In this study, liquid pig manure (n=305) and sewage sludge (n=111) – used as agricultural fertilizers between 2002 and 2005 – were investigated for the presence of Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium. Bacteria were tested for their resistance against 40 chemotherapeutics including several “reserve drugs”. E. coli (n=613) from pig manure were at a significantly higher degree resistant to streptomycin, doxycycline, spectinomycin, cotrimoxazole, and chloramphenicol than E. coli (n=116) from sewage sludge. Enterococci (Ent. faecalis, n=387, and Ent. faecium, n=183) from pig manure were significantly more often resistant to high levels of doxycycline, rifampicin, erythromycin, and streptomycin than Ent. faecalis (n=44) and Ent. faecium (n=125) from sewage sludge. Significant differences in enterococcal resistance were also seen for tylosin, chloramphenicol, gentamicin high level, fosfomycin, clindamicin, enrofloxacin, moxifloxacin, nitrofurantoin, and quinupristin/dalfopristin. High rates of (multi-) resistant bacteria in pig manure emphasize the need for a prudent – cautious – use of antibiotics in farm animals.

Species targeted: Other;
Age: Not stated;
Summary:
A lack of comprehensive global AMR surveillance data and an over-reliance on an indicator-based surveillance system has limited the early detection of emerging AMR threats and trends. The EpiWATCH outbreak database has been used to retrieve AMR outbreak reports between August 2016-March 2020 using keywords such as ‘resistance’, ‘resistant’, ‘superbug’, ‘bugs’, ‘MRSA’ and ‘VRE’. Cases were grouped according to geolocation and time to conduct a descriptive epidemiologic analysis of the outbreak. EpiWATCH identified reported AMR outbreaks quickly compared to an indicator-based surveillance system. It detected outbreaks by pathogens, including some not monitored by the World Health Organization. Also, it identified information on both colonised and infected cases. Thus, open source data from EpiWATCH can complement an indicator-based surveillance system for strengthening AMR surveillance.

Species targeted: Other; Sheep;
Age: Adult;
Summary:
In small ruminants, management tools for the control of mammary infections must be rethought, taking into account their animal specificities as well as management, equipment or work organization. The study integrated the inputs of observation, as a central element of the work of breeders and advisors, and various innovative technological solutions or automated recordings now available or in development as diagnostic tools (molecular bacteriology, cell counts, infrared spectra, clinical examination of the udder and the teat) and in terms of milking ability and milking conditions (use of milk kinetics recordings or vacuum fluctuations and thermography). In a context of antibiotics use reduction, criteria for the selection of animals to be cured (or culled) have been proposed. New phenotypes have been explored for a better understanding of the risk factors associated with milking. Finally, after studying the genetic progress and economic impact, the inclusion of new traits in selection schemes was carried out (somatic cell counts) or proposed to improve the resistance of animals to mammary infections.

Summary:
Development and implementation of health management plans is the cornerstone of profitable farms; prevention of microbial diseases by means of vaccination is an integral part of such a plan. In every production type and management system in small ruminants, microbial diseases have a major significance, hence their proper control must be based in good health management practices, including use of effective and safe vaccines. The article reviews and discusses vaccination programs and latest advances in development of vaccines against diseases that cause major economic losses in small ruminants.

In Significant Impact Groups: Pathogen management \ Biosecurity
Species targeted: Pigs; Poultry; Other;
Age: Different for different species;
Summary:
All microbial species can be biofilmogenic under certain stress conditions, nutrient concentration, colony size and degree of confinement. The exchange of information and gene expressions that characterize the biofilm make it an enemy to be fought as part of the fight against antibiotic resistance. During a webinar organised by Lallemand and Unitec, a method to combat the formation of pathogenic biofilm was presented, exploiting the antagonism between bacteria. LalFilmPRO, Lallemand’s apatogenic biofilm, can be used to reverse the paradigm, using the same weapons as bacteria to extend the hygiene protocol. The exclusive technology is based on the use of specific bacterial strains, with antagonistic efficacy and high adherence power. Bacterial strains have been selected to colonise an environment quickly and uniformly, which can inhibit and antagonise the growth of other species.

357 Research paper – Mounaix – 2018 – Comparison of three protocols of vaccination against Bovine Respiratory Disease in fattening commercial farms

In Significant Impact Groups: Pathogen management \ Vaccination
Species targeted: Beef;
Age: Young;
Summary:
Three protocols of vaccination against Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD; Bovilis Bovigrip®) for young Charolais cattle were conducted in commercial feedlots to identify respective benefits. The average daily gain was significantly higher (p<0,05) when animals were completely vaccinated (2 shots) at breeding farms (early vaccination) compared to those where part of the vaccination was done at the assembly center (intermediate vaccination). The number of cattle which were observed as sick by farmers was low in average, as well as the proportion which were treated by them (<15%/lot) but no significant difference could be demonstrated between protocols. In the context of reducing medication inputs, this experiment suggests the benefits to vaccinate cattle at the breeding farm to prevent and decrease BRD incidence in feedlots.
