“…Our study showed 36.4% resistance towards Gentamicin which was similar to a study conducted in South East Nigeria in 2016 by Chijioke A Nsofor et al where Gentamicin resistance was 31.7%. [13] Two other similar studies conducted by Dhanalakshmi TA et al [20] and Sina H et al [12] showed 33.6% and 42.27% resistance respectively towards Gentamicin.

“…[18] Similarly researches conducted in Benin, Bengaluru South East Nigeria showed a prevalence similar to the ongoing study. [12,15,13] A study was conducted by Indian network for Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance (INSAR) group, India in different leading hospitals of India to study the prevalence and susceptibility pattern of MRSA. The overall prevalence observed was 42% in 2008 and 40% in 2009 for MRSA.…”

BACKGROUNDS. aureus is a versatile pathogen that causes human diseases ranging from mild infections to life-threatening sepsis. Therefore, to prevent S. aureus infections, effective infection control practices and antibiotic policies should be formulated. The present study was conducted to study the prevalence and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) isolated from various clinical samples in a tertiary care hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODSA descriptive study was conducted in Microbiology Department. In the present study, out of 1194 clinical isolates, 206 S. aureus isolates were identified and processed using standard microbiology procedures. The antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method as per CLSI guidelines. RESULTSThe prevalence of S. aureus was reported as 206 (17.25%) and MRSA was reported as 99 (48.0%). High resistance was seen in case of Penicillin whereas resistance less than 50% was reported in Methicillin, Ciprofloxacin, Gentamicin, Erythromycin; and Clindamycin. Vancomycin, Teicoplanin and Linezolid were found to be 100% sensitive. CONCLUSIONS. aureus is a common cause of skin and soft tissue infections in hospitals. There should be a regular surveillance on the changing patterns of antibiotic sensitivity pattern of MRSA and antibiotic policy should be formulated to reduce the increasing levels of infections in the hospitals.

How antibiotics are used in pig farming: a mixed-methods study of pig farmers, feed mills and veterinarians in Thailand

et al. 2020

BackgroundRising global concern about antimicrobial resistance has drawn attention to the use of antibiotics in livestock. Understanding the current usage of antibiotics in these animals is essential for effective interventions on the optimisation of antibiotic use. However, to date few studies have been conducted in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to explore the use of antibiotics and estimate the total amount of antibiotics used in pig production in Thailand.MethodsThis was a mixed-methods study including a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey of 84 pig farmers, secondary analysis of data from a survey of 31 feed mills to estimate the amount of antibiotics mixed in pig feed and interviews with five veterinarians involved in the feed mill industry to gain an understanding of medicated feed production.FindingsHalf of the farmers reported using antibiotics for disease prevention. Use was significantly associated with farmers’ experience in raising pigs, farm income, having received advice on animal health and belonging to a farm cooperative. The estimated total amount of active ingredients mixed into medicated feed for pigs for the whole country was 843 tonnes in 2017. Amoxicillin was the most commonly used antibiotic reported by both pig farms and feed mills. The use of Critically Important Antimicrobials including colistin was common, with one-third of farmers reporting their use as oral or as injectable medication, and accounting for nearly two-thirds of antibiotics contained in medicated feed.ConclusionA majority of antibiotics used in Thai pig farms belonged to the category of Critically Important Antimicrobials. Progressive restriction in the use of antibiotics in pigs is recommended through using prescriptions to control the distribution of certain antibiotics. The government should strengthen veterinary services to improve access of farmers to animal health advice and explore alternative interventions.
