This first volume in a two-volume work enhances readers'
understanding of antimicrobial resistance mechanisms in selected
bacterial species that cause diseases in major food producing
animals. It provides an overview of the current legislation and
policies seeking to regulate the authorisation, manufacturing,
distribution and use of veterinary antimicrobials in practice in a
way that helps to contain the spread of antimicrobial resistance.
The focus is put on Europe, without neglecting the global context.
Moreover, attention is paid to various uses of antimicrobials in
livestock, considering both their risks and benefits, from the
distant past to the present. Growth promotion, prophylaxis,
metaphylaxis, diagnostics and treatment are discussed not only with
regard to food production and animal health, but also considering
the One Health concept, which combines public and animal health
with environmental aspects. A summary of various systems for
monitoring the use of antimicrobials is provided, as well as an
overview of the diseases that European veterinarians most often
treat with antimicrobials. In closing, the book addresses the
complexity of recent measures that are of key importance for
antimicrobial stewardship, e.g. biosecurity, vaccination and other
preventive tools including the newest technologies like smart
farming. The complete two-volume work provides an extensive review
of various aspects related to the use of antimicrobials in
veterinary medicine, especially considering major food producing
species, their most common infectious diseases and causative
pathogens, and mainly focusing on the situation in Europe, without
ignoring the global context. While Volume I discusses more general
aspects of antibiotic use such as regulatory, laboratory and
practical issues from different perspectives, Volume II more
specifically discusses medical aspects and the use of
antimicrobials in cattle, pigs, poultry and horses, as well as
pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, two of the most important
factors determining the success of treatment. In both volumes, each
chapter confronts the reader with open questions to stimulate
further discussions and future research on the topics covered.
