Abstract/Description: | Several decades of antibiotic abuse in humans, animals and other farming systems and release of antimicrobials into environment from different sources are contributing to development of resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics in bacteria at a rate much faster than the rate at which newer antibiotics are being developed thus creating health emergency situation. Use of antibiotics as growth promoters (AGPs), wherein antibiotics are used at sub therapeutic dose for longer duration, favours selection and spread of resistant bacteria within animals and to humans through food or other environmental pathways. Expressed concerns are that AGPs are used to compensate for poor hygiene, health management and housing. Considering gravity of threat to human and animal health, some countries have banned use of AGPs while many countries are still using various antimicrobials as AGP including some of those categorized as important for human health. Recently many antibiotics being used in animals for therapeutic purpose are also being implicated for development of resistance. Different alternatives to AGPs are available but they may not be as cheaper as and also may not be as effective as antibiotics for improving survivability or performance of food animals reared under poor hygienic conditions or under environmental stress. Data on prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is limited in India. There is urgent need to undertake detail study of prevalence of AMR and economic analysis of rearing food animals on various alternatives to antibiotics. Further, development of reliable certification system and higher pricing of animal products produced through alternate system and increasing consumer awareness can be a way forward to tackle the menace. |
