Widespread use and residues of antibiotics in humans, animals, and the environment can exert selective pressure on antibiotic resistance bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance gene (ARG), accelerating the flow of antibiotic resistance. As ARG spreads to the population, the burden of antibiotic ...
Antibiotic resistance is a global health challenge, involving the transfer of bacteria and genes between humans, animals and the environment. Although multiple barriers restrict the flow of both bacteria and genes, pathogens recurrently acquire new resistance factors from other species, thereby reducing ...

Luckily, vets can look to human medicine for some clues on antibiotic resistance. “Sometimes, veterinarians can take expertise from antimicrobial stewardship in humans and apply similar lessons to animals. We look at that a lot when it comes to the duration of treatment,” Fellman said. “Our...
Resistance to antibiotics has increased dramatically over the past few years and has now reached a level that places future patients in real danger. Microorganisms such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, which are commensals and pathogens for humans and animals, have become increasingly resi...

to reproduce or to transfer their resistance to others of their species through processes ofgeneexchange. With their more vulnerable competitors wiped out or reduced in numbers by antibiotics, these resistant strains proliferate. The end result is bacterial infections in humans that are untreatable by...
notable for the explicit framing of antibiotic resistance as a shared global problem by such reformers as Stuart Levy and the Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics; and that from 1992 through the present, during which time antibiotic resistance became linked to larger concerns regarding emergin...
to resistance propagation in the environment. However, the number of publications related to antibiotic resistance in animal husbandry is not commensurate with the dominant use of antibiotics in this sector. Inset shows antibiotic consumption by humans and animals in three major countries/regions.76,...
