Resumen
Actualmente los antibióticos son muy utilizados y han salvado muchas vidas desde su descubrimiento. Pero debido a un mal uso de ellos, tanto en humanos como en la industria ganadera, han ido apareciendo resistencias bacterianas a los tratamientos con antibióticos. Cada año unas 480.000 personas presentan tuberculosis multirresistente, y la resistencia hacia estos fármacos empieza a provocar grandes complicaciones para luchar contra el VIH y el paludismo (WHO, 2018). En Europa en el año 2014, se consumieron más de 8 toneladas de antibióticos para consumo animal. Una de las resistencias más importantes es la encontrada en Escherichia coli, siendo esta resistente a la ampicilina, estreptomicina, sulfonamida y tetraciclina (también combinados en varios patrones de multirresistencia), particularmente en aves de corral y cerdos (Caruso, 2018). También Salmonella es un problema grave, debido a la detección de multirresistencias en la mayoría de los productos cárnicos, siendo estas bastante graves ya que son resistentes a los antibióticos de uso clínico (Balsalobre y Hernández, 2004).
Today antibiotics are widely used and have saved many lives since their discovery. But due to their misuse, both in humans and in the livestock industry, bacterial resistance to antibiotic treatment has been emerging. Each year, some 480,000 people develop multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and resistance to these drugs is beginning to cause major complications in the fight against HIV and malaria (WHO, 2018). In Europe in 2014, more than 8 tons of antibiotics were consumed for animal consumption. One of the most important resistances is found in Escherichia coli, which is resistant to ampicillin, streptomycin, sulfonamide and tetracycline (also combined in several multi- resistance patterns), particularly in poultry and pigs (Caruso, 2018). Salmonella is also a serious problem, due to the detection of multi-resistance in most meat products, which are quite serious since they are resistant to antibiotics for clinical use (Balsalobre and Hernández, 2004).
