“…Antimicrobials are medicines which are used for treatment or prevention of infections caused by microbes. 15 The activity of an antibacterial agent is mostly attributed to two mechanisms; interfering chemically with the production or function of essential bacterium components, and/or evading the conventional antibacterial resistance mechanisms. These mechanisms are depicted in Fig.…”

Background: This article presents the results of studies on the antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica isolates isolated from animal products of the Almaty region, Kazakhstan using a new domestic component of culture media for the cultivation of microorganisms from defibrinated horse blood. Results: The results showed that the Almaty region can be classified as region with low resistance rates of E. coli to cefotaxime, ampicillin/sulbactam, levofloxacin, meropenem and Salmonella to levofloxacin and high resistance rates of E. coli to norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, and Salmonella to norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin. The use of a domestic component of culture media for the cultivation of microorganisms from defibrinated horse blood makes it possible to obtain media enriched with micro and macronutrients for reliable and high-quality laboratory analyses. Conclusions: It is assumed that the irrational use of fluoroquinolones in animal husbandry leads to an increase in the resistance of microorganisms that cause infectious diseases common to humans and animals, since the above types of antibiotics (fluoroquinolones) are the most important drugs for the treatment of bacterial infections in medicine and veterinary medicine. The results indicate that pathogens of enteropathogenic diseases resistant to antibacterial drugs are circulating in the territory of the Almaty region of Kazakhstan and the use of a domestic component of culture media for the cultivation of microorganisms from defibrinated horse blood makes it possible to obtain media enriched with micro and macronutrients for reliable and high-quality laboratory analyses.

“…The potential causes of global AMR comprise excessive use of antibiotics in animals, misuse of antibiotics in humans, over-thecounter antibiotic availability, the growth of international travel, poor sanitation and hygiene, and the discharge of unmetabolized antibiotics or their residues into the environment via manure, urine, and feces (Aslam et al, 2018). AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites develop resistance to the drugs that are commonly used for their treatment (Puvača, 2022). As a consequence, AMR limits the effectiveness of antibiotics, leading to longer hospital stays, increased morbidity and mortality, and increased healthcare costs, and have a detrimental impact on the Gross Domestic Product of countries (Boeckel et al, 2019;Abushaheen et al, 2020).…”

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to humans and animals as well as the environment. Within agricultural settings, the utilization of antimicrobial agents in animal husbandry can lead to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. In Chile, the widespread use of animal-derived organic amendments, including manure and compost, requires an examination of the potential emergence of AMR resulting from their application. The aim of this research was to identify and compare AMR genes found in fertilized soils and manure in Los Andes city, Chile. Soil samples were collected from an agricultural field, comprising unamended soils, amended soils, and manure used for crop fertilization. The selected genes (n = 28) included genes associated with resistance to beta-lactams, tetracyclines, sulfonamides, polymyxins, macrolides, quinolones, aminoglycosides, as well as mobile genetic elements and multidrug resistance genes. Twenty genes were successfully identified in the samples. Tetracycline resistance genes displayed the highest prevalence, followed by MGE and sulfonamides, while quinolone resistance genes were comparatively less abundant. Notably, blaOXA, sulA, tetO, tetW, tetM, aac (6) ib., and intI1, exhibited higher frequencies in unamended soils, indicating their potential persistence within the soil microbiome and contribution to the perpetuation of AMR over time. Given the complex nature of AMR, it is crucial to adopt an integrated surveillance framework that embraces the One Health approach, involving multiple sectors, to effectively address this challenge. This study represents the first investigation of antimicrobial resistance genes in agricultural soils in Chile, shedding light on the presence and dynamics of AMR in this context.

Antimicrobial Resistance and Treatment in Companion, Food and Exotic Animals

Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites change over time and cease to respond to applied antibiotics, making infections more difficult to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness, and death [...]
