“…Dentro del peligro de las enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos (ETA) está la diseminación de cepas resistentes a los antibióticos. El descubrimiento mundial y uso generalizado de los antibióticos en la industria agrícola, acuícola, veterinaria y en medicina, ha permitido la supervivencia de las cepas resistentes; generando desequilibrio ecológico (59). La transferencia o diseminación de genes de resistencia a antibióticos puede llevarse a cabo por diferentes formas, (i) la traslocación, (ii) la transmisión horizontal por conjugación, (iii) la diseminación de microorganismos resistentes (animal<->animal<->medio ambiente), (iv) la diseminación del animal al humano (contacto directo, alimentos), (v) la diseminación global por exportación e importación de animales y productos contaminados y finalmente (iv) transmisión de resistencia antimicrobiana en las instituciones de salud (60).…”

Lístería spp. es un género bacteríano que se adapta fácílmente a cambíos ambíentales y a condícíones químícas y físícas, por eso no es sorprendente la aparícíón de resístencía a desínfectantes de uso frecuente en las índustrías de alímentos. La capacídad para adquírír genes de resístencía antímícrobíana a partír de otras especíes bacteríanas, hace que este género deba ser observado cuídadosamente desde el punto de vísta epídemíológíco.Aunque aún no se ha demostrado que el abuso de antímícrobíanos como promotores de crecímíento en la produccíón de anímales (vacas, cerdos y aves, entre otros), esté relacíonado dírectamente con el aumento de la resístencía antímícrobíana, es ínevítable llamar la atencíón sobre esta práctíca. En este artículo se hace una revísíón sobre la taxonomía, el serotípo, factores de vírulencía, el uso de antíbíótícos en la índustría y la resístencía antímícrobíana de Lístería spp.

“…The available information is usually rather approximate, e.g., about 50% of world production is said to be applied in agriculture and aquaculture [3]. Concrete data have been published for the therapeutic use of antibiotics for farm animals in France in 1989 and include 50,000 kg ilactam antibiotics, 57,100 kg aminoglycosides, 99,600 kg chloramphenicol, 116,800 kg tetracyclines, 37,000 kg macrolides, 138,600 kg sulfonamides, 77,200 kg nitrofuran, 3700 kg quinoxaline, and 45,300 kg nitroimidazole [10]. For The Netherlands, veterinary usage of 300,000 kg of antibiotics in the year 1990 was calculated to result in 125, 430, and 55 mg/kg per year for pigs, poultry, and cattle, respectively [11].…”

This short review summarizes data on antibiotic resistance profiles of common food-borne pathogens like Salmonella sp., Escherichia coli, Campylobacter sp., Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium perfringens, Staphylococcus aureus, and coagulase-negative staphylococci. As a flashlight on the literature of the last few years, it provides ample evidence that antibiotic resistance traits have entered the microflora of farm animals and the food produced from them. Molecular analysis of the resistance genes, where available, shows that the food microflora is not separated from its human counterpart and conjugative transfer of resistance genes has been demonstrated in vitro and in a few cases in vivo. For example, for Salmonella typhimurium, resistance towards tetracyclines has increased from zero in 1948 to a 98% level in certain epidemic populations of S. typhimurium DT104 in 1998. The high incidence of food-borne pathogens in raw meat and milk together with a high level of therapeutic, prophylactic and nutritional application of antibiotics in agriculture reveals an antibiotic resistance problem of global dimensions. The resistance problem in human medicine will not be solved if there is a constant influx of resistance genes into the human microflora via the food chain.

“…Bacteria can become resistant through various mechanisms: neutralizing an antibiotic before it can do harm, pumping the antibiotic out, altering the antibiotic’s attack site, mutating their genetic material, or acquiring pieces of DNA that code for the resistant properties from other bacteria. Resistant bacteria can be transferred to humans through the food supply or from direct contact with animals themselves (Black, 1984; Espinasse, 1993). For example, dairy and poultry farmers and butchers were shown to have increased drug‐resistant bacteria through genetic mutations and natural selection of transferred microbials (Black, 1984; van den Bogaard et al., 2002).…”

Inappropriate use of antibiotics in humans and animals contributes to decreased antimicrobial susceptibility in bacteria of medical importance. Resistant bacteria being transferred from animals to humans are causing public health concern. In-person interviews were conducted with 20 dairy farmers in rural counties of South Carolina to determine farmers' knowledge and attitudes about prudent antibiotic use among livestock. Four focus groups (n = 22) were also conducted to ascertain farmers' specific information needs about proper antibiotic use. Survey results showed that participants (100%) typically determined a need for antibiotic treatment using symptom assessment and reported following some form of operating procedures regarding administration of antibiotics. Few farmers (32%) had actual written antibiotic protocols. Preferred information sources about antibiotics were veterinarians (100%) and other dairy farmers (50%). Most farmers (86%) were not concerned that overuse of antibiotics in animals could result in antibiotic resistance among farm workers. Qualitative analysis of focus groups revealed significant barriers to following proper antibiotic procedures including limited finances and lack of time. The need for bilingual educational resources for Hispanic/Latino dairy workers was expressed. Desired formats for educational materials were posters, flowcharts, videos, and seminars. Education of South Carolina dairy farmers by veterinarians and public health professionals on the appropriate use of antibiotics in dairy cattle is needed to ensure antibiotic effectiveness in both animals and humans.
