Disease relevance of Animal Husbandry

  • vanA-mediated high-level glycopeptide resistance in Enterococcus faecium from animal husbandry [1].
  • Virginiamycins S1 and M1, two major components of the antibacterial antibiotic complex produced by Streptomyces virginiae and used as an animal growth promoter in animal husbandry, exhibited a selective insecticidal activity against Leptinotarsa decemlineata comparable with the effect of the organophosphorus pesticide Metathion [2].
  • It is suggested that the use of apramycin in animal husbandry is responsible for the appearance of gentamicin resistance in multiresistant strains of phage type 204c, a phage type already epidemic in bovine animals and with an increasing incidence in humans [3].
 

High impact information on Animal Husbandry

  • Under standardized animal husbandry conditions, PLP-A possesses modest effects on reproductive performance [4].
  • For experimental evaluation, a combination of specific animal husbandry techniques and an oral infection route showed cftr(-/-) mice but not WT mice can be chronically colonized by P. aeruginosa with subsequent lung translocation, yielding a pathologic picture indicative of chronic lung infection [5].
  • Metronidazole is an antibiotic that has been effective against many microaerophilic microorganisms with importance in medicine and animal husbandry [6].
  • Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in Europe are thought to have emerged partly due to the use of the glycopeptide avoparcin in animal husbandry [7].
  • OBJECTIVES: The aminoglycoside apramycin has been used extensively in animal husbandry in the UK since 1978 [8].

Associations of Animal Husbandry with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Animal Husbandry

  • Sera were collected from 1680 people including contacts of known patients, abattoir workers and animal husbandry workers in various parts of the country [16].
