Abstract/Description: | Antibiotics are widely used agricultural input and their application amount is at least as great as the amount used by humans. The estimate of exact quantity of antibiotic use in global agriculture varies considerably more than 50000 tonnes annually. A wide range of antibiotics, having similar chemical structure with the antibiotics used for human therapeutics, are applied in animal husbandry, aquaculture and crop production, In some part of the world antibiotics are used in far greater quantity in animal husbandry than used by human. In crop production, use of antibiotics is relatively lower than usage in livestocks. The outspread use of antibiotics, more specifically their unrestricted and indiscriminate use in agriculture, the present antibiotic era is threatened by the emergence of high level of antibiotic/antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of important pathogen. A good number of human pathogens have developed resistant strains (MRSA, VRE, etc.) against commercial antibiotics causing challenging task presently to treat some life threating diseases which was thought to be easy previously. Not only human pathogens, some plant disease causing microbes have also developed resistance strains against important antibiotics like streptomycin and oxytetracycline. |
