Antimicrobial Stewardship in Non-Traditional Settings

Abstract

Antimicrobials are commonly prescribed in canine and feline veterinary medicine and include many of the same drugs used in human medicine. Because of the close contact between humans and their pets, there is growing interest in the potential for animals to act as reservoirs for resistant bacteria. Researchers have identified concerning resistance genes in isolates from veterinary patients, and household transmission of resistant organisms is documented. Although well established in human medicine, veterinary antimicrobial stewardship is an emerging discipline. Recent guidelines describe general recommendations for prudent antimicrobial use, and there are limited clinical guidelines recommending treatments for various small animal infectious diseases. As the focus on One Health grows, efforts to improve antimicrobial use in veterinary medicine are expanding. Current research focuses include developing systems to quantitate antimicrobial prescribing in small animal hospitals and expanding the evidence for optimal antimicrobial treatment protocols in veterinary species.
