Antibiotics used in poultry for development and spread of antibiotics – resistant bacteria
-
The long-term effects of antibiotic use in poultry can contribute to <mark>increased human antibiotic resistance</mark> by promoting the development and spread of resistant bacteria that can then be transmitted to humans through food or direct contact.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
<ul jscontroller=”M2ABbc” jsaction=”jZtoLb:SaHfyb” data-hveid=”CDoQAQ” data-ved=”2ahUKEwid4cDrhImMAxXb-gIHHfM8NAgQm_YKegQIOhAB”>
Development of Resistant Bacteria:
The overuse of antibiotics in poultry, even for non-therapeutic purposes like growth promotion, creates an environment where bacteria can develop resistance to these drugs.
Transmission to Humans:
<ul jscontroller=”M2ABbc” jsaction=”jZtoLb:SaHfyb” data-hveid=”CDYQAQ” data-ved=”2ahUKEwid4cDrhImMAxXb-gIHHfM8NAgQm_YKegQINhAB”>
- Through Food: Resistant bacteria can be present in poultry meat and eggs, and if these products are not properly cooked or handled, they can be transmitted to humans who consume them.
- Direct Contact: Farm workers and others who come into direct contact with poultry can also be exposed to resistant bacteria and potentially transmit them to others.
- Environmental Contamination: Antibiotics and their residues can also contaminate the environment, potentially leading to increased exposure to resistant bacteria for humans.
Consequences of Antibiotic Resistance:
<ul jscontroller=”M2ABbc” jsaction=”jZtoLb:SaHfyb” data-hveid=”CDcQAQ” data-ved=”2ahUKEwid4cDrhImMAxXb-gIHHfM8NAgQm_YKegQINxAB”>
- Treatment Failure: Antibiotic-resistant infections are harder to treat, requiring stronger and potentially more toxic antibiotics, or longer treatment times.
- Increased Morbidity and Mortality: The spread of resistant bacteria can lead to more severe infections, increased hospitalizations, and even death.
- Increased Healthcare Costs: Treating antibiotic-resistant infections can be significantly more expensive than treating infections caused by susceptible bacteria.
Examples of Resistant Bacteria:
Some examples of bacteria that can develop resistance to antibiotics commonly used in poultry include Campylobacter, Salmonella, and E. coli.
Mitigation Strategies:

Reduce Antibiotic Use in Poultry:
Minimizing the use of antibiotics in poultry production, especially for non-therapeutic purposes, is crucial.
Promote Good Hygiene Practices:
Proper hygiene practices, such as handwashing and food safety, can help prevent the spread of resistant bacteria.
Develop Alternative Strategies:
Research and development of alternative strategies to control poultry diseases, such as vaccines and probiotics, are important.
Public Awareness:
Educating the public about antibiotic resistance and the importance of proper antibiotic use is crucial.

@everyone Please
-
The long-term effects of antibiotic use in poultry include the development and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, posing a significant threat to human health as these resistant bacteria can be transmitted to humans through food, direct contact, or the environment.
