Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an emerging problem in companion animals, because of difficult-to-treat infections, possible pressure to use antimicrobials that are important in human medicine, and potential zoonotic transmission. The extent and importance of AMR in companion animals are poorly understood, in part because of limited surveillance; however, it is clear that resistance is problematic in many pathogens and commensals, including staphylococci, enterococci, Escherichia coli and Salmonella.
抗菌药物耐药性(AMR)是伴侣动物中一个新出现的问题,原因在于感染难以治疗、可能存在对人类医学中重要抗菌药物的使用压力以及潜在的人畜共患病传播。伴侣动物中AMR的程度和重要性尚未得到充分了解,部分原因是监测有限;然而,很明显,耐药性在许多病原体和共生菌中都存在问题,包括葡萄球菌、肠球菌、大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌。
