Tests of antibiotic resistance in cattle have revealed stark variation across thirteen European countries. The results, published today in BioMed Central’s open-access journal Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, show that major differences were apparent in the occurrence of resistance between countries and betw...
Antibiotic resistance genesManureAerobic compostingHuman healthResistomeComposting has been suggested as a potential strategy to eliminate antibiotic residues and pathogens in livestock manure before its application as an organic fertilizer in agro-ecosystems. However, the impacts of composting on antibiotic ...
I am involved in a large multidisciplinary project on bacterial antimicrobial resistance in cattle manures and slurries. This project is going to be an important part of my research activities over the next few years. Where can we find you?

The Antibiotic Resistance Action Center (ARAC) was created to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics by engaging in research, advocacy, and science-based policy.
Step-by-Step Solution:1. Understanding the Question: The question asks where genes that represent traits of antibiotic resistance occur in bacteria. This requires knowledge of bacterial genetics and the stru
Antibiotics are widely used in animal husbandry, and various types of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are frequently detected in livestock waste around the world. Conventional livestock waste treatment processes do not completely remove ARGs, resultin
antibiotic resistance in humans is still under much debate. In addition to the veterinary use of antibiotics, the use of these agents as antimicrobial growth promoters (AGP) greatly influences the prevalence of resistance in animal bacteria and a poses risk factor for the emergence of antibiotic ...
in the treatment of bacterial diseases in animal husbandry. They have also prevented innumerable deaths and allowed for the advancement of modern medicine for many years [3]. However, their misuse and overuse have led to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in most of pathogenic ...
Antibiotics are a blessing but may also be an empty promise of health when microbes develop resistance to our pharmacological arsenal. Globally, the emergence of antibiotic resistance is an important threat to both human and animal health.
