Summary:
The use of antibiotics represents one of the most important interventions for the control of infectious diseases. Antibiotics have saved millions of lives and have also brought a revolution in medicine. However, an increasing threat has lowered the effect of these drugs, because of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, which is defined here as the ability of bacteria to survive in antibiotic concentrations that inhibit/kill others of the same species. In this review some recent and important examples of resistance in germs of concern for mankind are mentioned. The process that led to the current situation in a short time is also explained in this review. It begins with the resistance genes, continues with clones and genetic elements involved in the maintenance and dissemination, and ends with other factors that contribute to its spread. Possible responses to the problem are reviewed, with special reference to the development of new antibiotics.

238 Research paper – Moreno – 2014 – Survey of quantitative antimicrobial consumption per production stage in farrow-to-finish pig farms in Spain

In Significant Impact Groups: AMU reduction strategies \ Monitoring and surveillance Antibiotic use
Species targeted: Pigs;
Age: Young; Adult;
Summary:
This study describes antimicrobial use (AMU) per production stage in terms of drugs, routes of application, indications, duration and exposed animals in farrow-to-finish pig farms in Spain. Information was collected via a questionnaire on AMU during the six months prior to the interview, in face-to-face interviews completed from April to October 2010, for a total of 49 farms. The most used antimicrobials per farm and production stage and administration route were polymyxins (colistin) by feed in the growing and the preweaning phases, followed by β-lactams by feed during the growing and the preweaning phases and by injection during the preweaning phase. Results show that the growing stage (from weaning to beginning of finishing) has the highest AMU, feed is the administration route with the highest antimicrobial exposure (because of high number of exposed animals and longer duration of treatment); and there are large differences in AMU among individual pig farms.

236 Research paper – Cameron-Veas – 2018 – Multidrug resistant Salmonella enterica isolated from conventional pig farms using antimicrobial agents in preventative medicine programme

In Significant Impact Groups: AMU reduction strategies \ Monitoring and surveillance Disease/health
Species targeted: Pigs;
Age: Young;
Summary:
Presence of multidrug antimicrobial resistance (multi-AR) in Salmonella enterica in pigs in Spain was investigated in this study, together with association of multi-drug resistance with ceftiofur or tulathromycin treatment during the pre-weaning period. Sixty-six S. enterica isolates were recovered from five of the eight farms studied. Forty-seven bacteria (isolates) were multi-drug resistant. The most frequent AR genes detected were tet(A) (77%), sul1 (26%); tet(B) (23%) and qnrB (66,15%). Multi-drug resistance was common, especially for ampicillin, streptomycin, sulphonamides and tetracycline. These antibiotics are used frequently in veterinary medicine in Spain and, therefore, should be used carefully to minimise the spread of multi-drug resistance.

In Significant Impact Groups: AMU reduction strategies \ Monitoring and surveillance Disease/health
Species targeted: Pigs; Poultry; Dairy; Beef; Sheep; Other;
Age: Young; Adult;
Summary:
Bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is constantly evolving and horizontal gene transfer through genetic elements known as plasmids plays a major role. The identification of plasmids characteristics and their association with humans and animals provides important information that is essential to understand the contribution of these genes to the transmission of resistance. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of all known AMR related types of genetic elements (plasmids) in Enterobacteriaceae, the resistance genes they carry and their geographical distribution. This information is very important in the fight against antimicrobial resistance.

233 Research paper – Ares-Arroyo – 2018 – PCR-Based Analysis of ColE1 Plasmids in Clinical Isolates and Metagenomic Samp

In Significant Impact Groups: AMU reduction strategies \ Monitoring and surveillance; Disease/health
Species targeted: Pigs; Poultry; Sheep; Other;
Age: Young; Adult;
Summary:
Genes transferred by ColE1 plasmids are important vehicles for the spread of antibiotic resistance in two families of bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae and Pasteurellaceae. Their monitoring is essential, as they harbor important resistance elements that can lead to resistance to antimicrobials in bacteria found in humans, animals and the environment. Understanding how these genetic elements work can lead to better understanding of how resistance to antimicrobials is being spread. In this work we present a useful genetic tool for the detection and analysis of ColE1 plasmids, and confirm their important role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance, especially in the Pasteurellaceae family of bacteria.
