Antibiotic Resistance: A Concern to Veterinary and Human Medicine / Aryal, S.R. in Nepal Agriculture Research Journal, Vol. 4 (2000/2001)
[article]
Title : Antibiotic Resistance: A Concern to Veterinary and Human Medicine Material Type: printed text Authors: Aryal, S.R., Author Publication Date: 2000 Article on page: 66-70 p General note: Review article Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Antibiotic resistance, bacteria, extrachromosomal material, R-plasmids Abstract: Bacterial resistance to antibiotics occurs even without the use of antibiotics. Antibiotic use exerts a
selective pressure to the bacterial flora that help in the emergence and development of antibiotic
resistance. Antibiotics are used worldwide both in veterinary and human medicine. The wide
spread use of antibiotics in human and animal has raised the concern about the development of
resistant and multi resistant bacteria that possess a potential danger to animals and men, as
resistance may cause treatment failure. Resistance may be natural or acquired. Acquired resistance
is due to transfer of extrachromosomal genetic material (R-plasmids) and is very important. The
R-plasmids are spread to other bacterial cells by transformation, transduction, conjugation and
transposition. Transmitted antibiotic resistance in disease causing bacteria may cause zoonotic
infections and resistant non-infectious bacteria may serve as a reservoir of R- plasmids for the
pathogenic organism(s). This paper highlights the mechanism of development of resistance in
bacteria and means to minimize it.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=97
