Introduction Acquired antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when medicines are no longer effective in combating infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites due to genetic changes in those organisms. 1 AMR acquisition may
ciprofloxacin in adults and ceftriaxone in children. 28,29 Despite the implications of antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella strains for veterinary medicine and public health, elucidation of antimicrobial resistance among Salmonella spp and other bacteria
geographic regions in the United States. In addition, to our knowledge, no reports concerning a statistical association between antimicrobial resistance and the virulence profile in the C difficile population have been published. Prompted by the lack of such
the strain is nonsusceptible to all but 2 or fewer antimicrobial classes, the term “extensively drug-resistant” (XDR) may be applied. Although XDR presents a major therapeutic challenge to veterinarians, antimicrobial resistance alone is not a true
antimicrobial resistance genes to other pathogenic bacteria, 6 and the hospital environment can act as a reservoir for drug-resistant pathogens. 2,4,7 To date, few studies 7–9 have explored the diversity of bacteria present on environmental surfaces within a
Issues surrounding antimicrobial resistance engage not only public health and animal health practitioners but also the public at large and have a global scope. One example is an initiative sponsored by the Food and Agriculture Organization that
among bovids. 2–4 Typically, Salmonella isolates from nonclinically affected animals are susceptible to antimicrobials, whereas the isolates from clinically affected animals have higher overall levels of antimicrobial resistance. 5,6 There are
collected on January 30, 2005, from 3 apparently healthy calves. One isolate had the same 9-antimicrobial resistance pattern as the 3 isolates from ill calves, and 2 had the same 10-antimicrobial resistance pattern as the other 2 isolates from ill calves
