Antibiotic resistance threatens provision of healthcare and livestock production worldwide with predicted negative socioeconomic impact. Antibiotic stewardship can be considered of importance to people living in rural communities, many of which depend on agriculture as a source of food and income...

Antibiotic resistance signifies a safety hazard to public health. Lactic acid bacteria, particularly, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, are useful organisms responsible for dairy fermentation. In keeping with this, they may transfer antibiotic resistance to human population....

The overuse and misuse of antibiotics to treat diseases and promote the growth of animals lead to the deposition of antibiotics in animal tissues, and subsequently, antibiotics come into the human body through the food chain. In this paper, comparative studies on antibiotic residue (AR) in...

Antibiotics are widely used in animal husbandry for the treatment of animal infections. However, animals cannot completely metabolize and absorb antibiotics, and most of the antibiotics are released into the environment with urine and feces, which leads to antibiotic residues and contamination of ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the current use of antibiotics by Swiss equine veterinarians and to compare the results with a similar study from 2013 before the introduction of the web tool Antibiotic Scout. The survey was sent to equine veterinarians according to the member database of the...

Background: Pyometra is commonly seen in intact bitches and is usually treated by ovariohysterectomy. Few studies have reported the frequency of postoperative complications, particularly beyond the immediate postoperative period. Swedish national antibiotic prescription guideline provides...

Despite limited biomonitoring studies suggesting extensive antibiotic exposure in general population, the body burden of antibiotics in young children and their potential health risks remain unclear. To assess the antibiotic exposure levels in young children, 508 preschoolers aged 3-6 years were...

Salmonella enterica is an important foodborne pathogen that constitutes a major health hazard. The emergence and aggravation of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella has drawn attention widely around the world. Conducting a risk assessment of antibiotic-resistant foodborne pathogens throughout the food...

Misuse and overuse of antibiotics have contributed to the rise of antimicrobial resistance as one of the top public health threats. Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are prevalent in agricultural soils due to the widespread application of livestock and organic wastes. However,...

Background: In tropical environments, boar semen is prepared either from a boar on the same farm as the sow herd or collected in semen collection centers and then transported to other farms. Thus, the semen doses can be used for artificial insemination either immediately or preserved for 2-3 days....
