Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) should be tackled through a One Health approach, as stated in the World Organization Global Action Plan on AMR. We describe landscape of AMR surveillance European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) and underline gap regarding veterinary medicine. Current efforts are limited help to practitioners policymakers seeking improve antimicrobial stewardship animal health. propose establish Resistance Surveillance network Veterinary medicine (EARS-Vet) report...
Objectives: To investigate the distribution of, associations between and transferability of antimicrobial resistance genes in resistant Escherichia coli strains isolated from Norwegian meat products. Methods: The 241 investigated were collected within frame monitoring programme for bacteria feed, food animals (NORM-VET) during years 2000–2003. PCR was carried out detection genes. Conjugation experiments with isolates as donor E. DH5α recipient strain. Statistical analyses performed...
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic background for streptomycin resistance in Escherichia coli and perform analysis MICs relation background.
The monitoring of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial pathogens animals is not currently coordinated at European level. To fill this gap, experts the Union Joint Action on Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare Associated Infections (EU-JAMRAI) recommended building Surveillance network Veterinary medicine (EARS-Vet). In study, we (i) identified national systems for AMR (both companion food-producing) among 27 countries affiliated to EU-JAMRAI, (ii) described their structures...
Antimicrobial resistant Escherichia coli (n=331) isolates from humans with bloodstream infections were investigated for the presence of class 1 and 2 integrons. The integron cassettes arrays characterized findings compared data similar investigations on E. meat products (n=241) produced during same time period. All obtained Norwegian monitoring programs antimicrobial resistance in human pathogens veterinary sector. Methods used included PCR, sequencing, conjugation experiments, plasmid...
A longitudinal study of 27 broiler farms including 182 flocks was performed to determine risk factors for occurrence cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli in Norwegian flocks. Information regarding possible collected by an online questionnaire and samples obtained from parent during the period. Additional information provided production company. The prevalence E. sampled estimated. Cephalosporin-resistant detected 13.8% 22.5% included study. multivariable generalized linear model used...
Escherichia coli resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins have been detected in the Norwegian broiler production, despite fact that antimicrobial agents are rarely used. The genetic mechanism responsible for cephalosporin resistance is mainly attributed presence of blaCMY-2 gene encoding a plasmid-mediated AmpC-beta-lactamase (pAmpC). aim this study was characterize and compare containing isolated from intestinal flora broilers retail chicken meat (fillets) identify possible successful...
The objective of this study was to estimate and compare the occurrence AMR in wild red foxes relation human population densities. Samples from (n = 528) included Norwegian monitoring programme on antimicrobial resistance bacteria food, feed animals were included. All samples divided into three different groups based density municipality where hunted. Of 528 included, 108 (20.5%), 328 (62.1%) 92 (17.4%) originated areas with low, medium high density, respectively. A single faecal swab...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), associated with antimicrobial use (AMU), is a major public concern. Surveillance and monitoring systems are essential to assess control the trends in AMU AMR. However, differences surveillance between countries sectors make comparisons challenging. The purpose of this article describe all for AMR human livestock sectors, as well national food, six European (Spain, Germany, France, Netherlands, United Kingdom Norway) baseline developing suggestions overcome...
Regular evaluation of integrated surveillance for antimicrobial use (AMU) and resistance (AMR) in animals, humans, the environment is needed to ensure system effectiveness, but question how. In this study, six different tools were assessed after being applied AMU AMR eight countries: (1) ATLASS: Assessment Tool Laboratories Surveillance Systems developed by Food Agriculture Organization (FAO) United Nations, (2) ECoSur: Evaluation Collaboration tool, (3) ISSEP: Integrated System Project, (4)...
Interpretive criteria for antimicrobial susceptibility testing are lacking most antimicrobials used bovine streptococcal mastitis. The objectives of this study were to determine (tentative) epidemiological cut-off ((T)ECOFF) values clinically relevant antibiotics treatment mastitis, and estimate the proportion acquired resistance (non-wild-types) in Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. uberis. A total 255 S. uberis 231 isolates obtained Denmark Norway from tested 10 using broth microdilution....
ABSTRACT Aquaculture farming discharges large volumes of fish sludge, consisting particulate organic matter from feed spill and feces. Fish sludge land‐based salmonid aquaculture systems can potentially be used to low‐trophic species such as marine polychaetes insects. Further use these invertebrates may provide a more sustainable chain. However, food security must not compromise or safety. The is currently permitted in the European Union (EU). A regulatory assessment that considers...
Tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a goal for many countries. Integrated surveillance of use (AMU) and prerequisite effective risk mitigation. Regular evaluation any needed to ensure its effectiveness efficiency. The question how evaluate specifically integrated AMU AMR. In an international network called CoEvalAMR, we have developed guidelines selection the most appropriate tools such evaluation. Moreover, assessed different as examples using country case format methodology with...
Introduction As part of the EU Joint Action on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Healthcare-Associated Infections, an initiative has been launched to build European AMR Surveillance network in veterinary medicine (EARS-Vet). So far, activities included mapping national systems for surveillance animal bacterial pathogens, defining EARS-Vet objectives, scope, standards. Drawing these milestones, this study aimed pilot test surveillance, namely (i) assess available data, (ii) perform...
Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a One Health (OH) challenge. To achieve or maintain an effective and efficient AMR surveillance system, it crucial to evaluate its performance in meeting the proposed objectives, while complying with resource restrictions. The OH-EpiCap tool was created degree of compliance hazard activities essential OH concepts across following dimensions: organization, operational activities, impact system. We present feedback on application from user’s...
Disease caused by Bovine virus diarrhoea (BVDV) is notifiable in Norway. An eradication programme started 1992. The number of herds with restrictions decreased from 2950 1994 to zero at the end 2006. From 2007, aim has been surveillance order document freedom infection. To estimate probability BVDV infection Norwegian cattle population 2011, a scenario tree model program during years 2007-2011 was used. Three system components (SSCs) were included model: dairy, beef suckler sampled farms...
In this study comprising isolates from 2001 to 2003, resistance was considerably more widespread among Campylobacter jejuni humans infected abroad than within Norway. The discrepancy particularly notable for fluoroquinolone (67.4% vs. 6.5%). This is probably a reflection of low prevalence in Norwegian broiler (1.2% resistant).
The occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius from skin and ear infections a representative sample dogs unexposed to treatment before sampling was examined. obtained isolates were further examined for genetic polymorphism background resistance. A total 59 S. originating 96 samples 91 five different regions Norway included this study. Susceptibility testing performed using broth dilution method. Resistant subjected polymerase chain reaction detection genes. All...
Campylobacteriosis is the most frequently reported zoonosis in EU and epidemiology of sporadic campylobacteriosis, especially routes transmission, to a great extent unclear. Poultry easily become colonised with Campylobacter spp., being symptom-less intestinal carriers. Earlier it was estimated that internationally between 50% 80% cases could be attributed chicken as reservoir. In Norwegian surveillance programme all broiler flocks under 50 days age were tested for spp. The aim current study...
