Journal ArticleDOI
Attributable sources of community-acquired carriage of Escherichia coli containing β-lactam antibiotic resistance genes: a population-based modelling study
Lapo Mughini-Gras,Alejandro Dorado-García,Engeline van Duijkeren,Gerrita van den Bunt,Cindy M Dierikx,Marc J. M. Bonten,Martin C. J. Bootsma,Heike Schmitt,Tine Hald,Evers Eg,Aline de Koeijer,Wilfrid van Pelt,Eelco Franz,Dik Mevius,Dick Heederik +14 more
TL;DR: The attributable non-human sources underpin the need for longitudinal studies and continuous monitoring, because intracommunity ESBL-EC and pAmpC-EC spread alone is unlikely to be self-maintaining without transmission to and from non- human sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular relatedness of ESBL/AmpC-producing Escherichia coli from humans, animals, food and the environment : a pooled analysis
Alejandro Dorado-García,J. H. Smid,Wilfrid van Pelt,Marc J. M. Bonten,Ad C. Fluit,Gerrita van den Bunt,Jaap A. Wagenaar,Joost Hordijk,Cindy M Dierikx,Kees Veldman,Aline de Koeijer,Wietske Dohmen,Heike Schmitt,Apostolos Liakopoulos,Ewa Pacholewicz,Theo J.G.M. Lam,Annet G.J. Velthuis,Annet E.

TL;DR: The analysis showed distinguishable ESBL/AmpC-EC transmission cycles in different hosts and failed to demonstrate a close epidemiological linkage between livestock farms and people in the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative assessment of antimicrobial resistance in livestock during the course of a nationwide antimicrobial use reduction in the Netherlands.
Alejandro Dorado-García,Dik Mevius,Dik Mevius,José Jacobs,Inge van Geijlswijk,Johan W. Mouton,Jaap A. Wagenaar,Jaap A. Wagenaar,Dick Heederik +8 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that recent Dutch policies aimed at reducing total use of antimicrobials have decreased E. coli resistance in the pig and veal calf production sectors while the impact on the dairy cattle and poultry sectors is less clear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transmission through air as a possible route of exposure for MRSA
Marian E. H. Bos,Koen M. Verstappen,Brigitte A. G. L. van Cleef,Wietske Dohmen,Alejandro Dorado-García,Haitske Graveland,Birgitta Duim,Jaap A. Wagenaar,Jaap A. Wagenaar,Jan Kluytmans,Jan Kluytmans,Dick Heederik +11 more
TL;DR: Investigation of exposure–response relationships between sequence type 398 (ST398) MRSA air exposure level and nasal ST398 MRSA carriage in people working and/or living on farms found a strong association between nasal carriage and number of working hours.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a bottom-up understanding of antimicrobial use and resistance on the farm: A knowledge, attitudes, and practices survey across livestock systems in five African countries.
Mark A. Caudell,Alejandro Dorado-García,Suzanne Eckford,Chris Creese,Denis K. Byarugaba,Kofi Afakye,Tamara Chansa-Kabali,Folorunso Oludayo Fasina,Emmanuel Kabali,Stella Kiambi,Tabitha Kimani,Geoffrey Mainda,Peter Mangesho,Francis Chimpangu,Kululeko Dube,Bashiru Boi Kikimoto,Eric Koka,Tendai Mugara,Bachana Rubegwa,Samuel Swiswa +19 more
TL;DR: It is found that interventions to limit antimicrobial resistance should be founded upon a bottom-up understanding of antimicrobial use at the farm-level given limited input from animal health professionals and under-resourced regulatory capacities within most low- and middle-income countries.
