Molina-López Comunicación beta colistin wildlife Catalonia resistance genes The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in both humans and livestock is attributed largely to the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials. The alarming emergence of this resistance in human and veterinary medicine has activated awareness for monitoring the levels of AMR pollution in the environment. In this report, the emergence of genes conferring resistance to human last-resort antibiotics is described in a wide diversity of wild animals. It suggests that wildlife can be good sentinels of AMR environmental pollution, especially in highly populated areas. Moreover, wild animals can also contribute in the dissemination of AMR bacteria and genes in the environment and represent a zoonotic risk for the population who are exposed to them. 2023 artículo científico 2174-3487 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=511774539020 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511774539020/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511774539020/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511774539020/511774539020.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511774539020/movil https://doi.org/10.7203.metode.13.23653 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5117 Mètode Science Studies Journal application/pdf Universitat de València Mètode Science Studies Journal (España) Num.13 |
