“…The majority of our respondents’ decision to prescribe was not influenced by the clients which is a good indication as our animal health workers will not be under pressure to prescribe in cases where antibiotics are not required. This finding was similar to studies from the US [ 22 ] and Australia [ 23 ]. This would prevent unnecessary prescription of antibiotic for a disease under the pressure of the clients.…”

Introduction Antimicrobial resistance is (AMR) an emerging global public health problem. Rationale use of antibiotic can prevent the rise of antimicrobial resistance. The objective of this study was to understand the knowledge, attitude and practice on antibiotic usage and AMR among the veterinarians and para-veterinarians in Bhutan. Method A cross-sectional questionnaire survey among the veterinarians and para-veterinarians was conducted from June to July 2020. A score of one to the correct answers and zero for the wrong answers was allotted to each respondent answers. The total score was added and those who scored above the mean was categorized as having good knowledge and favourable attitude. Result A total of 219 animal health workers participated in this study. The mean knowledge score was 12.05 ±1.74 with 38.8% of the respondents having good knowledge on antibiotic use and AMR. Similarly, the mean scores for the attitude level were 8.32±1.61 with 51% them having favorable attitude towards antibiotic usage and AMR. The mean practice score was 3.83±1.06 with 77% of them having good practices on antibiotic use. The respondents who read national plan on AMR were found to have good knowledge on antibiotics and AMR (AOR: 2.39; 95% CI: 1.19–4.82). The female respondents (AOR: 2.16; 95% CI: 1.01–4.61), respondents from the eastern region (AOR: 2.53; 95% CI: 1.18–5.44), west central (AOR: 3; 95% CI: 1.30–6.92), animal health supervisors (AOR: 9.77; 95% CI: 1.98–48.29), and livestock production supervisors (AOR: 2.77; 95% CI: 1.21–6.35) have favorable attitude towards antibiotics and AMR. Conclusions Our study identified that most animal health workers in Bhutan had poor knowledge on antibiotics usage and AMR. Therefore, regular awareness education on antibiotics and AMR in the form of refresher course/training must be provided to the animal health workers in the country to avoid inappropriate use of antibiotics.

“…Similar to many other studies [23][24][25], oxytetracycline, tetracycline and penicillin were the most commonly prescribed antibiotics in animals in Bhutan. This could be due to their availability, familiarity among the animal health workers, and the disease prevalence in the country.…”

“…As much as two hundred four clinical practitioner vet who officially registered in Bali divided into two group based on the animal they handle the most namely pet veterinarian and livestock vet. Both of groups were asked to answer a Likert-type scale questionnaire that had been described by Norris et al, (2019) with minor modification. The Kruskal-Wallis H test in IBM SPSS software was performed to determine significant differences in median responses and mean ratings between different veterinary groups for each question.…”

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global crisis that will greatly impact human and animal health. This phenomenon is mostly caused by veterinarians who use antimicrobial to their patient irresponsibly. This study aims to know how the perception of veterinarians toward AMR phenomena in Bali. As many as 204 clinical practitioner veterinarians who were officially registered in the province of Bali divided into two group namely pet and livestock veterinarians. Both of groups were asked to answer a Likert-type scale questionnaire. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was performed to determine significant differences in median responses and mean ratings between different veterinary groups for each question. Both of groups strongly agreed with the factor of patients did not finish antimicrobials therapy and using antimicrobials from previously unfinished therapy greatly contributed to the problem of AMR. Vet clinic, human clinic, human hospitals, livestock, aquaculture, and irregular use of antimicrobials contribute greatly to AMR. Patient health in a general hospital, the general public, livestock and food industry from animals are considered quite problematic due to AMR phenomenon. The role of many parties seems very important in managing and preventing AMR from both veterinarian groups. Our finding provided valuable insight into the awareness of AMR on Bali veterinarian and have important implication for the future studies.

Resistensi antimikroba (AMR) adalah kemampuan bakteri untuk menahan efek obat, sehingga bakteri tidak mati setelah pemberian antimikroba dan fungsi obat tersebut tidak berkerja sama sekali. Kejadian ini diakibatkan oleh penggunaan antimikroba yang tidak terkontrol yang mampu menimbulkan krisis global pada kesehatan manusia dan hewan di masa depan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor yang mempengaruhi perilaku dan persepsi dokter hewan di Provinsi Bali terhadap penggunaan antimikroba dan resistensi antimikroba. Sebanyak 204 dokter hewan digunakan sebagai sampel penelitian dengan cara survei memakai sistem Likert dan kemudian hasil perbedaan tanggapan dokter hewan terhadap frekuensi peresepan dianalisis dengan Kruskal-Wallis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan antimikroba diberikan ke separuh pasien yang ditangani tiap minggunya, dan faktor yang mempengaruhi pemberian antimikroba adalah riwayat penggunaan antimikroba, tingkat keamanannya, pengalaman, potensi, efek samping, dan resiko meningkatnya resistensi antimikroba. Biaya uji kultur dan harga antimikroba menjadi hambatan terbesar bagi dokter hewan praktisi hewan kecil tetapi tidak bagi dokter hewan praktisi hewan ternak. Seluruh responden mengakui bahwa sebagian besar sumber informasi mengenai AMR mudah didapatkan serta berguna bagi mereka. Kelompok dokter hewan praktisi hewan kecil dan praktisi hewan ternak sepakat bahwa AMR merupakan ancaman bersama yang serius di masa mendatang. Studi ini memberikan wawasan penting mengenai penerapan tindakan medis veteriner yang di Provinsi Bali dan kelak menjadi acuan dalam meningkatkan regulasi pengawasan terhadap penggunaan antimikroba.
