TLDR
Determining drug resistance trends will optimize treatment and public health responses and help scientists better understand and respond to drug resistance-related adverse events.Abstract:
We conducted a retrospective study of Escherichia coli isolates recovered from human and food animal samples during 1950-2002 to assess historical changes in antimicrobial drug resistance. A total of 1,729 E. coli isolates (983 from humans, 323 from cattle, 138 from chickens, and 285 from pigs) were tested for susceptibility to 15 antimicrobial drugs. A significant upward trend in resistance was observed for ampicillin (p<0.001), sulfonamide (p<0.001), and tetracycline (p<0.001). Animal strains showed increased resistance to 11/15 antimicrobial agents, including ampicillin (p<0.001), sulfonamide (p<0.01), and gentamicin (p<0.001). Multidrug resistance (≥3 antimicrobial drug classes) in E. coli increased from 7.2% during the 1950s to 63.6% during the 2000s. The most frequent co-resistant phenotype observed was to tetracycline and streptomycin (29.7%), followed by tetracycline and sulfonamide (29.0%). These data describe the evolution of resistance after introduction of new antimicrobial agents into clinical medicine and help explain the range of resistance in modern E. coli isolates.read more

Escherichia, Shigella, and Salmonella
TL;DR: As national surveillance systems depend on the receipt of serotype information for Salmonella strains isolated in the United States, laboratories should follow the procedures recommended by their state health departments for submittingSalmonella isolates for further characterization, including complete serotyping.

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: Since the non-O157 STEC are responsible for a large portion of STEC-related illnesses, more extensive studies on their physiology, genetics, pathogenicity, and evolution are needed in order to develop more effective control strategies.

Estimates of the Regression Coefficient Based on Kendall's Tau
TL;DR: In this article, a simple and robust estimator of regression coefficient β based on Kendall's rank correlation tau is studied, where the point estimator is the median of the set of slopes (Yj - Yi )/(tj-ti ) joining pairs of points with ti ≠ ti.

Antibacterial resistance worldwide: causes, challenges and responses.
Stuart B. Levy,Bonnie Marshall +1 more
TL;DR: The optimism of the early period of antimicrobial discovery has been tempered by the emergence of bacterial strains with resistance to these therapeutics, and today, clinically important bacteria are characterized not only by single drug resistance but also by multiple antibiotic resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial Use and Resistance in Animals
TL;DR: Alternatives to growth-promoting and prophylactic uses of antimicrobials in agriculture include improved management practices, wider use of vaccines, and introduction of probiotics to minimize the further development of antimicrobial resistance.
