Faecal samples collected from three populations of healthy adult volunteers (290 pigfarmers, 316 abattoir workers, 160 (sub)urban residents) living in the south of The Netherlands were analysed for the prevalence and degree of antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli. Significant differences in prevalence of resistance to amoxicillin, neomycin, oxytetracycline, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim were observed. The pigfarmers showed the highest percentages of resistance and the (sub)urban residents the lowest. In contrast no significant differences in high degrees of resistance were observed, except for neomycin. Although both pigfarmers and abattoir workers have regular contact with pigs differences in prevalences of resistance were observed. However, because abattoir workers with intensive and less intensive pig(carcass) contact did not show significant differences, this is probably not the only important source of resistant E. coli in pigfarmers. The high antibiotic use by pigfarmers (5%) and abattoir workers (8%) than by (sub)urban residents (0%) did not result in significantly different resistance percentages.
对来自荷兰南部的三组健康成年志愿者(290名养猪户、316名屠宰场工人、160名(城郊)居民)的粪便样本进行了分析,以检测大肠杆菌的抗生素耐药性及其程度。研究发现,在对阿莫西林、新霉素、土霉素、磺胺甲恶唑和甲氧苄啶的耐药率方面存在显著差异。养猪户的耐药率最高,而(城郊)居民的耐药率最低。相比之下,除新霉素外,在高度耐药方面未观察到显著差异。尽管养猪户和屠宰场工人都经常接触猪,但在耐药率方面仍存在差异。然而,由于与猪(胴体)接触程度高和低的屠宰场工人之间没有显著差异,这可能不是养猪户中耐药大肠杆菌的唯一重要来源。养猪户(5%)和屠宰场工人(8%)的抗生素使用量高于(城郊)居民(0%),但并未导致耐药率出现显著差异。
