ABSTRACT

The use of antimicrobial compounds in the production of animal feed has demonstrated benefits, including better animal health, greater production and, in some cases, reduction of foodborne pathogens. However, the use of antibiotics for agricultural fins, in particular to stimulate growth, was closely monitored, as it demonstrates a contribution to the increased prevalence of bacterial antibiotics resistant to human importance. The transfer of antibiotic resistance genes and the selection of resistant bacteria can be done by different mechanisms, which are not always linked to the use of applicable antibiotics. Prevalence data can provide insight into the occurrence and changes in resistance over time; however, the reasons are diverse and complex. This issue has been widely discussed in the past nationally and internationally, and several adopted countries are either considering stricter restrictions or prohibitions on certain types of use of antibiotics in the production of animals for food. In some cases, the ban on the use of growth-promoting antibiotics appears to result in a decrease in the prevalence of certain drug-resistant bacteria; however, subsequent objects in animal morbidity and mortality, particularly in young animals, sometimes result in increased use of therapeutic antibiotics, which generally occur in families of drugs more relevant to human medicine.
