Optimal treatment and prudent use of antimicrobials for pigs is imperative to secure animal health prevent development critical resistance. An important step in this one-health context monitor resistance patterns pathogens. The aim study was investigate the antimicrobial five major pathogens Danish during a period from 2004 2017 elucidate any developments or associations between usage antibiotics. minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) Escherichia coli, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae,...
Introduction Denmark is one of the world’s largest exporters pigs and pig meat, so sector plays an important role in national antimicrobial use (AMU). The Danish government has run stewardship programs collaboration with industry for more than 25 years. These have resulted substantial overall reductions total AMU limiting fluoroquinolones, 3rd 4th generation cephalosporines polymyxin colistin. To understand where further could take place, it necessary to investigate which antimicrobials are...
SUMMARY Thermotolerant Campylobacter spp. have been the most common bacterial cause of human gastrointestinal disease in Denmark since 1999. In 2003, Danish voluntary strategy to control was intensified. The focus on biosecurity, allocation meat from Campylobacter- negative broilers production chilled products, and consumer information campaigns. From 2002 2007, percentage positive broiler flocks at slaughter decreased 43% 27%. After processing, samples fell 18% 2004 8% 2007. Furthermore,...
We present a summary of the main findings latest report European Food Safety Authority and Centre for Disease Prevention Control on zoonoses, zoonotic agents food-borne outbreaks in Union (EU), based data from 2009. Zoonoses are prevalent widely distributed across several countries EU. The most important highlight this was continuous decrease human salmonellosis since 2005, probably due to effective control programmes livestock.
Aims: To use amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis to evaluate the genetic relatedness among 254 Campylobacter jejuni reference and field strains of diverse origin representing all defined ‘Penner’ serotypes for this species. Methods Results: Field (n = 207) from human diarrhoea animal environmental sources were collected mainly through a National surveillance programme in Denmark serotyped by established scheme. Genetic relationships these isolates, archetypal serotype...
Aims: To determine the sensitivity and specificity of two automated enzyme immunoassays (EIA), EiaFoss Minividas, a conventional microbiological culture technique for detecting thermophilic Campylobacter spp. in turkey samples. Methods Results: A total 286 samples (faecal, meat, neckskin environmental samples) were collected over period 4 months at slaughterhouse meat-cutting plant Denmark. Faecal tested by method EIAs, whereas meat EIAs only. Two enrichment broths used, Enrichment Broth...
