A close association exists between the amounts of antibiotics used and the levels of resistance observed. The classes of antibiotics routinely used for treatment of human infections are also used for animals either for therapy or for growth promotion. Antibiotic resistance in zoonotic bacteria constitute a public health hazard, primarily through the increased risk of treatment failures. This paper describes the zoonotic bacteria, salmonella, campylobacter, yersinia and entero-haemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). Infections with these agents do not generally require antibiotic therapy, but in some cases antibiotics are essential to obtain a successful cure. The levels and types of resistance observed in zoonotic bacteria in some countries, especially the increasing levels of fluoroquinolone resistance in salmonella and campylobacter, gives cause for concern. The principles of controlling resistance development involve infection control at herd level and prudent use of antibiotics.</p>","PeriodicalId":75426,"journal":{"name":"Acta veterinaria Scandinavica.

{"title":"Antibiotic resistance: genetic mechanisms and mobility.","authors":"J E Olsen","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Based on the current knowledge, resistance genes seems mainly to originate in the organisms which produce antibiotics (Davies 1994). We lack considerably in the understanding of how these genes were transferred to pathogenic bacteria, and due to the enormous diversity of e.g. the soil flora, it is doubtful that we will ever obtain more that a faint picture of this. In Gram negative bacteria, more and more resistance genes are demonstrated to be located in integrons (e.g. beta-lactamase and streptomycin resistance genes in Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 (Sandvang et al. in press)). Integrons seem primarily to act as insertion sites for resistance genes. The origin of integrons as well as the resistance gene cassettes that are the other essential element of this system, is largely unknown (Hall & Collis 1995). Integrons can be located in the chromosome, in transposons, which have the ability to copy them themselves to other DNA molecules, or on plasmids. The emergence of resistant bacteria normally happens because of selection for a resistant clone of bacteria. Several mechanisms, however, exists by which the resistance genes can be transferred from one bacteria to another. Conjugation, mediated by plasmids or conjugative transposons, is currently the most well established of these mechanisms. Still, however, the selection pressure created by the use of antibiotics determines whether bacteria that have newly acquired a resistance gene expand to dominate in the population or remains a blink in history.</p>","PeriodicalId":75426,"journal":{"name":"Acta veterinaria Scandinavica.
