Journal ArticleDOI
Restricting the use of antibiotics in food-producing animals and its associations with antibiotic resistance in food-producing animals and human beings: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Karen L. Tang,Niamh Caffrey,Diego B. Nobrega,Susan C. Cork,Paul E. Ronksley,Herman W. Barkema,Alicia J. Polachek,Heather Ganshorn,Nishan Sharma,James D. Kellner,William A. Ghali +10 more
TL;DR: Interventions that restrict antibiotic use in food-producing animals are associated with a reduction in the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in these animals and in humans, and a smaller body of evidence suggests a similar association in the studied human populations, particularly those with direct exposure to food- producing animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial resistance profiles of 5 common bovine mastitis pathogens in large Chinese dairy herds.
Jia Cheng,Weijie Qu,Herman W. Barkema,Diego B. Nobrega,Jian Gao,Gang Liu,Jeroen De Buck,John P. Kastelic,Hong Sun,Bo Han +9 more
TL;DR: Prevalence of AMR in mastitis pathogens was high on large Chinese dairy farms, potentially jeopardizing both antimicrobial efficacy and public health, and highlighted the need for improvements in antimicrobial stewardship and infection control programs in largeChinese dairy farms to reduce emergence of AMr.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enterotoxin genes in coagulase-negative and coagulase-positive staphylococci isolated from bovine milk
Felipe de Freitas Guimarães,Diego B. Nobrega,Virgínia Bodelão Richini-Pereira,Pâmela Merlo Marson,José Carlos de Figueiredo Pantoja,Helio Langoni +5 more
TL;DR: Because the prevalence of CNS intramammary infections in dairy herds is usually high, and these species can be found in great numbers in bulk milk, identification of risk factors for production of staphylococcal enterotoxins should be considered in future studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of non-aureus staphylococci species causing intramammary infections in Canadian dairy herds
Larissa Anuska Zeni Condas,Jeroen De Buck,Diego B. Nobrega,Domonique A. Carson,Sohail Naushad,Sarne De Vliegher,Ruth N. Zadoks,John R. Middleton,Simon Dufour,John P. Kastelic,Herman W. Barkema +10 more
TL;DR: Overall prevalence of NAS intramammary infection was 35% at calving, decreased over the next 10 d, and then gradually increased until the end of lactation; therefore, accurate identification (species level) is essential for studying NAS epidemiology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of non-aureus staphylococci species in udder quarters with low and high somatic cell count, and clinical mastitis.
Larissa Anuska Zeni Condas,Jeroen De Buck,Diego B. Nobrega,Domonique A. Carson,Jean-Philippe Roy,Greg Keefe,T J DeVries,John R. Middleton,Simon Dufour,Herman W. Barkema +9 more
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine the SCC of quarters infected by individual NAS species compared with NAS as a group, culture-negative, and major pathogen-infected quarters and the distribution of NAS species isolated from quarters with low SCC and high SCC, and clinical mastitis.
