Abstract

Without exception, an estimated 50% of all antimicrobials serve veterinary purposes all over the world. Bacteria that inescapably develop antibiotic resistance in animals encompass food-borne pathogens, opportunistic pathogens and commensal bacteria. The accumulation of resistant bacteria by the use of antibiotics in veterinary medicine and the spread of such bacteria via veterinary medicine are still being discussed. Available epidemiological methods alone are often insufficient to accurately describe the relationships between veterinary antibiotic use and resistance [1]. Therefore, the veterinary contribution to human antibiotic resistance remains uncertain, with opinion ranging from globally negligibleor irrelevant to one of major concern [2].
