Toward One Health Approach: Linking Enteric Pathogens from Diverse Sources with Widespread Dissemination of Antimicrobial Resistance

摘要: One Health is a multidisciplinary concept to provide optimal health for humans and animals and to protect the environment. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the components of One Health that cover its use and misuse in humans, animals, and environmental sectors, monitoring and generation of knowledge about the spread of resistant bacteria and resistance determinants within and between these sectors at the national and global levels. These activities might give many vital information to take appropriate measures that can reduce the risk factors in public health. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics in animal husbandry and their abundance in the environment generate substantial pressure on bacteria for the development of resistance. These antibiotics enter the food chain and affect various ecological niches due to bioaccumulation. Once selected, the AMR can persist for longer periods in many bacterial …
