A new study published in Antibiotics (Sept 2023) has evaluated the prevalence of β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in cow and buffalo milk from the states of Haryana and Assam in India.
A new study published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science (July 2023) has mapped out the effect of antimicrobial resistance originating from poultry production in Senegal and highlights the entry points for interventions from a stakeholder perspective.
On 28 June 2023, Hung Nguyen-Viet, co-leader of the Animal and Human Health program at the International Livestock Research Institute, presented on One Health and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) at an online workshop on 'AMR in UK Parliament'.
A research study was conducted to assess livestock disease management practices and knowledge, attitude and behaviour among livestock producers in Ethiopia regarding antimicrobial use, residues and resistance. The study is published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science (May 2023).
A new study published in Antibiotics (May 2023) has characterized the distribution of antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from livestock faeces and soil in smallholder livestock systems in Ethiopia.
A new study published Antibiotics (May 2023) has documented the distribution and use of veterinary drugs in peri-urban smallholder poultry systems in two counties in Kenya.
A new study published in Antibiotics (Mar 2023) investigated bacterial contamination and the antimicrobial resistance profile of pathogens in marketed food in Bangladesh. The study also explored barriers to reducing antimicrobial resistance in the country.
A new article published in BMJ Global Health (Mar 2023) argues for an integrated One Health approach in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) and on-farm biosecurity interventions to prevent and control antimicrobial-resistant infections across humans, animals, and the environment.
Increased use of antibiotics in livestock is a public health concern, as it poses risks of antibiotic residues and antibiotic-resistant pathogens entering the food chains and infecting humans. A new study in the January 2023 issue of Antibiotics has examined the knowledge, attitudes and practices of poultry farmers on the use of antibiotics in urban and peri-urban areas of Ouagadougou.
Antibiotic resistance is a global concern threatening achievements in health care since the discovery of antibiotics. In Kenya, this topic remains understudied in a context of rising demand for livestock products, intensification and the concomitant increase in antibiotic use. To shed light on this topic, a new study in Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control (Jan 2023) has investigated the drivers and practices of antibiotic use in poultry farming in Kiambu County, Kenya.
