Veterinary monitoring of antibiotic resistance as a tool of infectious safety

Abstract

Veterinary antibiotic resistance monitoring is a systematic, ongoing process of collecting, analyzing and reporting data on antimicrobial resistance. The information received within the framework of monitoring has practical application points, including the organization of therapeutic and preventive measures.For veterinary monitoring, it is fundamentally important to separate all isolated microorganisms into clinical and colonization isolates.Clinically significant isolates, i.e. isolates that are the cause of the infectious process, specific localization.Colonizing bacteria that are not the cause of infection at a specific location. It should be noted that under certain conditions (entrance gates of infection, weakened immune status, etc.), a colonizing isolate can cause an infectious process, i.e. become clinically significant.For the preparation of local protocols for antimicrobial therapy of animals and birds, clinically significant isolates are of the greatest value.It is necessary to develop methodological recommendations for laboratory control of antibiotic resistance of pathogens of bacterial diseases of different species of animals, birds, fish, bees and introduce them into the practice of veterinary laboratories.
