A CDC infographic on how antibiotic-resistant bacteria have the potential to spread from farm animals. Antibiotic use in livestock is the use of antibiotics for any purpose in the husbandry of livestock, which 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 ...
In a literature review conducted by the Review of Antimicrobial Resistance 100 out of 139 studies found evidence of a link between antibiotic use in animals and antibiotic resistance in consumers. [6] When a gram-negative bacterial infection is suspected in a patient, one of the first-line options for treatment is in the fluoroquinolone family.
It has been shown that resistance to antibiotics develops in animals that are fed subtherapeutic doses of antibiotics for growth promoting purposes. [9] Certain bacteria that have the potential to cause human illness, such as Salmonella, that naturally reside in the swine gastrointestinal tracts are constantly exposed to antibiotics. With time ...
Experts across the world are determined to slow down the rise in AMR, which is partly fuelled by unnecessary use of antibiotics. Antibiotics and resistance ‘two-way street’ between animals and ...
The FDA also said that using unapproved animal drugs in humans could delay effective treatment and allow infections to become severe and resistant to antibiotics and anti-fungal drugs.

Sales of antibiotics for food-producing animals are reducing in the UK, but campaigners say further reductions and legislation are needed. Zac Goldsmith calls for end to delay in banning overuse ...
It is established that the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry can give rise to AMR resistances in bacteria found in food animals to the antibiotics being administered (through injections or medicated feeds). [120] For this reason only antimicrobials that are deemed "not-clinically relevant" are used in these practices.
