Antibiotic resistance key to understanding efforts to curtail antibiotics in poultry
The reduction and removal of antibiotics from poultry feeds is now a common theme for producers. This is due to rising levels of anti­microbial resistance and not because of the antibiotics themselves. Ensuring that antibiotics are only use ...

Restricting the use of antibiotics in food-producing animals and its associations with antibiotic resistance in food-producing animals and human beings a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background Antibiotic use in human medicine, veterinary medicine, and agriculture has been linked to the rise of antibiotic resistance globally. We did a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarise the effect that interventions to redu ...

Fishmeal source of antibiotic resistance genes thriving in marine fish farm sediments
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes for antibiotic resistance have been showing up in unexpected places including isolated caves and ancient permafrost. This time, one team of scientists has surprisingly found these genes-where they can ...

The use of diformates and 3rd generation acidifier in order to prevent antibiotic resistance in poultry
The use of antibiotics at sub-therapeutic levels, in order to improve the productivity of chickens has been practiced in many countries for decades despite its drawbacks. As a result, today we are seeing the emergence of multiple bacteria t ...

Reducing antibiotic resistance; what to expect from feed additives?
Microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi and parasites, can develop resistance against antimicrobial substances, such as antibiotics, antifungals and anthelminthics. As a results, these antimicrobial substances become ineffective in limiting ...

Antibiotic resistance: recognising the need for change
Antibiotic resistance has the potential to become one of the greatest problems of our generation, given the ever-increasing rise in bacterial strains that are less and less sensitive to existing treatments. While abuse of antibiotics in hum ...

Better gut health prevents antibiotic resistance
As 70% of the immune system capacity of the birds is concentrated around or inside the gut, it is therefore easily understood that a good intestinal integrity will have a positive impact on the bird's immune status, reducing the need fo ...

Antibiotic resistance in Salmonella: a risk for tropical aquaculture
Salmonelas are rod-shaped, non-spore-forming Gram-negative facultative anaerobes measuring 0.7-1.5 by 2-5 µm. With the exception of the serovars Gallinarum and Pullorum, salmonelas are motile organisms. They are classified according to morp ...
