[Research progress on bacterial resistance and gene carrying resistance in migratory birds].

Bacterial resistance is a serious problem in use of antibiotics and an urgent global public health challenge. The drug-resistant bacteria and drug-resistant genes carried by migratory birds are not only related to clinical antibiotics, but also the use of pesticides and veterinary drugs as well as the pollution of the surrounding environment of drug factories. However, studies on drug-resistant genes carried in migratory birds have been gradually reported around the world. Migratory birds have the characteristics of large range of movement and long flight distance, which leads to the complexity of bacterial resistance. Under the influence of environment and human activities, drug-resistant genes carried in bacteria are transmitted among species,human beings, domestic animals, environment and wild birds through mobile elements. This study summarizes the current situation of antibiotic resistance bacteria carried by migratory birds,the status of drug-resistant genes in migratory birds and the relationship between the resistance of migratory birds and the environment and human activities. The aim is to better understand the important role of migratory birds as hosts and vectors in the global spread of antibiotic resistance.
