This article highlights the importance of using antibiotics responsibly in veterinary medicine to prevent antibiotic resistance and protect public health. It emphasizes the need for the right drug, at the right time, with the right dose and duration of treatment. The article discusses the impact of antibiotic use on the gut flora, transmission of resistance genes, and environmental exposure. It also explores innovative solutions and the role of pharmaceutical companies in promoting responsible antibiotic use.

The prudent use of antibiotics in veterinary medicine:the right drug, the right time, the right dose & the right duration of treatment P.L. Toutain National Veterinary School ; Toulouse, France The Bunge y Born foundation, 18th November 2011 Tandil, Argentina
The priorities of a sustainable veterinary antimicrobial therapy is related to public health issues, not to animal health issues: Why?
The antibiotic ecosystem: One world, One health Treatment & prophylaxis Veterinary medicine Human medicine Community Animal feed additives Hospital Agriculture Plant protection Environment Industry

Commensal bacteria:transmission of resistance genes from animal to man:
Horizontal genes exchanges(BLSE) in the gut The gut is the main animal ecosystem in which veterinary antibiotics are able to promote resistance in man
AB: oral route 1-F% Environmental exposure Food chain Target biophase Bug of vet interest Résistance = public health concern Gut flora & antimicrobial resistance G.I.T Proximal Distal • Gut flora • Zoonotic (salmonella, campylobacter • commensal ( enterococcus) F% Blood Résistance = lack of efficacy
Gut flora & antimicrobial resistance Gastrointestinal tract Proximal Distal • Gut flora • Zoonotic (salmonella, campylobacter • commensal ( enterococcus) Intestinal secretion Bile Quinolones Macrolides Tétracyclines Food chain Systemic Administration Environment Blood Biophase Target pathogen Résistance =public health issue Résistance = lack of efficacy
The aim was to assess the impact of 3 ampicillin dosage regimens on ampicillin resistance among Entrobacteriaceae recovered from swine feces and on the excretion in feces of the blaTEM gene
Result: Percent of ampicillin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae for each mode of administration
Hazard associated to the release of antibiotic in environment
Fate of antibiotics, zoonotic pathogens and resistance genes: residence time in the different biotopes Lagoon: few weeks Digestive tract: 48h Ex:T1/2 tiamuline=180 days Bio-aérosol Air, water & ground pollution Air pollution
What are the solutions to these critical issues • No or few solution for the veterinarians • For mastistis, use local intramammary treatment, not systemic treatment • We need innovations from pharmaceutical companies

Old or more recent drugs? • Many recommendations to establish list of essential antibiotics for human medicine • Where is the science demonstrating the benefit in terms or resistance to only use old antibiotics in veterinary medicine?
For three antibiotic classes (quinolones, cephalosporins and carbapenems), it was observed that the less active drugs could be worse at hastening the spread of resistance than more active drugs in the same class. This led the authors to qualify the (WHO) stratagem of recommending the use of old antibiotics as part of microbiological folklore.
How a vet can select the best drug amongst competitors (the so-called me-too)for pulmonary infection?
Amongst the different macrolides marketed for treatment and prevention of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) associated with Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Histophilus somni diseases, what is the best one? • Tulathromycine,Draxxin (Pfizer) • Tilmicosine, Micotil (Elanco) • Gamithromycine, Zactran (Merial) • Tildipirosin, Zuprevo (Intervet)
The need of comparative clinical trials for the newest antibiotics
Currently, antibiotics are compared only by non-inferiority trials
Micotil vs . Draxxin by Elanco Draxxin vs. Micotil by Pfizer
Draxxin vs Micotil by Pfizer Take home message: • Micotil not significantly different of Draxxin for most endpoints (P>0.05) but Micotil is more cost-effective (CAN$8/animal) and the lower initial BRD treatment costs in the DRAX group did not offset the higher metaphylactic cost of DRAX • Take home message: • Draxxin superior to Micotil P<0.00x Micotil vs . Draxxin by Elanco

What we demonstrated • For a same dose of marbofloxacin, early treatments (10 hours after the infection) were associated to • more frequent clinical cure • more frequent bacteriological cure • less frequent selection of resistant bacteria than late treatments (32 hours after the infection) Early administrations were more favourable than late administrations
Why to optimize dosage regimen for antibiotics • To optimize efficacy • Reduce the emergence and selection of resistance
How to find and confirm a dose (dosage regimen) • Dose titration • Animal infectious model • PK/PD • Clinical trials
