Antimicrobial Resistance 3 Flashcards
Humans
All begin to be colonised by enterobacteria from birth
Some of bacteria from birth
Show some antimicrobial resistance that produce beta lactamaseu
Role of animals and the envied in driving resistance
The use of antimicrobial in farmcanumals and transmission of resistant organisms in 1960
Bacteria and mobile elements liger on animals skin and faeces and can be transmitted from bacteria yo bacteria
Pigs and pig manure
Other causes
Exposure hunan mrsa caused
Metals in environment, nutrogen fertisers affect abundance of resistant organisms in soils
Antimicrobialsar epressicrbed

Level of affect public health
Vaccination rates Health care quality Migration Tourism Population density
Part kf resistance are ljnked tob
Use outside of human medicine
Veterinary medicine animal foods
Agriculture
Human to human transmission drive resistance
Faecal-oral transmission
Sexual encounters
Health care
Inability to rapidly identify resistant organisms
Travel potential interruption through mass drug administration and vaccination the target organism
Sewage and waste processing
Pharmaceutical
Has resulted in pathogenic resistant organisms being isolated in pre treatment and post treatment sewerage system
Resistance affecting fitness if organism
Mutations that alter the target of antimicrobial can change bacterial physiology potentially making them less fir but compensatory mutation very often restore fitness
Is resistance reversible
Attempting to out number resistant organisms by susceptible strains through limiting antimicrobial access eill not necessarily remove the resistant strain
Resistance is dependent on a number of genes and therefore only by removing access to all drugs to ehivh resistance and only if it is beneficial to the organism
Approaches to dealing with resistance
Improve diagnosis and prescription in human, animal and agricultural sectors
Robust infection control mechanism to avoid transmission and need for treatment
Use of animal growth promoters and inappropriate infection prevention
Access to non medical feeds must ve promoted
Integrating of human and animal medicine public and environmental health policies and interlinking research and education
Research needs
Understanding gow to minimise selection of antimicrobial resistance and optimal use of antimicrobial therapy
How to reduce prevalence of resistant organisms
Science of gene transfer and mechanism of resistance
