A CDC infographic on how antibiotic-resistant bacteria have the potential to spread from farm animals. The use of antibiotics in the husbandry of livestock includes treatment when ill (therapeutic), treatment of a group of animals when at least one is diagnosed with clinical infection (metaphylaxis [1]), and preventative treatment (prophylaxis).
Projected global antibiotic use in livestock under expected meat consumption levels in 2030, and a range of modeled reduction scenarios based on antibiotic use limits, reductions in meat consumption, and a fee on antibiotic sales. Further details on each scenario are given in the sources tab. Global antibiotic use is measured in tonnes per year.
Antibiotics are used in livestock for animal health and productivity, but also pose a risk for antibiotic resistance in both humans and livestock. Data is measured as the milligrams of total antibiotic use per kilogram of meat production. This is corrected for differences in livestock numbers and types, normalising to a population-corrected ...
Antibiotics are routinely given to livestock, which account for 70% of the antibiotic use in the United States. [18] This practice contributes to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. [19] Antibiotic resistance is a naturally occurring phenomenon throughout the world due to the overuse and/or inappropriate use of antibiotics. [20]
clavamox – antibiotic, used to treat skin and other infections; clindamycin – antibiotic with particular use in dental infections with effects against most aerobic Gram-positive cocci, as wel as muchenionoweloozi disorder. clomipramine – primarily used in dogs to treat behavioral problems
Narrow-spectrum antibiotics have low propensity to induce bacterial resistance and are less likely to disrupt the microbiome (normal microflora). [3] On the other hand, indiscriminate use of broad-spectrum antibiotics may not only induce the development of bacterial resistance and promote the emergency of multidrug-resistant organisms, but also cause off-target effects due to dysbiosis.
In 1998, the EU banned feeding animals antibiotics that were found to be valuable for human health. Furthermore, in 2006 the EU banned all drugs for livestock that were used for growth promotion purposes. As a result of these bans, the levels of antibiotic resistance in animal products and within the human population showed a decrease. [93] [94]
