Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial use in aquaculture re‐examined: its relevance to antimicrobial resistance and to animal and human health
Felipe C. Cabello,Henry P. Godfrey,Alexandra Tomova,Larisa Ivanova,Humberto Dölz,Ana R. Millanao,Alejandro H. Buschmann +6 more
TL;DR: Excessive use of antimicrobials in aquaculture can potentially negatively impact animal and human health as well as the aquatic environment and should be better assessed and regulated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salmon Aquaculture and Antimicrobial Resistance in the Marine Environment
Alejandro H. Buschmann,Alexandra Tomova,Alejandra López,Miguel A. Maldonado,Luis A. Henríquez,Larisa Ivanova,Fred Moy,Henry P. Godfrey,Felipe C. Cabello +8 more
TL;DR: Preliminary findings in one location may suggest that the current use of large amounts of antimicrobials in Chilean aquaculture has the potential to select for antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in marine sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial resistance genes in marine bacteria from salmon aquaculture and non‐aquaculture sites
Syed Qaswar Ali Shah,Felipe C. Cabello,Trine M. L'Abée-Lund,Alexandra Tomova,Henry P. Godfrey,Alejandro H. Buschmann,Henning Sørum +6 more
TL;DR: High levels of AR in marine sediments from Aquaculture and non-aquaculture sites suggest that dispersion of the large amounts of antimicrobials used in Chilean salmon aquaculture has created selective pressure in areas of the marine environment far removed from the initial site of use of these agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Borrelia chilensis, a new member of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex that extends the range of this genospecies in the Southern Hemisphere.
Larisa Ivanova,Alexandra Tomova,Daniel González-Acuña,Roberto Murúa,Claudia X. Moreno,Claudio Hernández,Javier Cabello,Carlos Cabello,Thomas J. Daniels,Thomas J. Daniels,Henry P. Godfrey,Felipe C. Cabello +11 more
TL;DR: The presence of culturable spirochetes with flat-wave morphology and borrelial DNA in endemic Ixodes stilesi ticks collected in Chile from environmental vegetation and long-tailed rice rats is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial resistance genes in marine bacteria and human uropathogenic Escherichia coli from a region of intensive aquaculture.
Alexandra Tomova,Alexandra Tomova,Larisa Ivanova,Alejandro H. Buschmann,Maria Luisa Rioseco,Rajinder K. Kalsi,Henry P. Godfrey,Felipe C. Cabello +7 more
TL;DR: Levels of antimicrobial resistance genes are significantly higher in antimicrobial-selected marine bacteria than in unselected bacteria from these sites, and horizontal gene transfer between antimicrobials and human pathogens is suggested.
