A32News - Practice the use of antibiotics in farm animals can trigger immune to antibiotics in humans who consume the meat of the animal.
Therefore the use of antibiotics needs to be done wisely.
Chairman of the Steering Committee of Antimicrobial Resistance (KPRA) Ministry of Health, dr. Harry Parathon, SpOG revealed, transmission of resistant bacteria from animals to humans through meat eaten.
If these animals are often given antibiotics, it can be contained antibiotic residues in meat.
When in eating humans, antibiotic residues go into the body. This is equivalent to the consumption of antibiotics when they are not being ill katena bacterial infection.
As the name implies, antibiotics should only be used to treat diseases caused by bacterial infection.
In the long term, excessive use of antibiotics can cause bacteria to mutate and become resistant.
The impact was not immediately felt by humans. "In our bodies there are bacteria that mutations before but, we have not got sick during our immunity still good. But, for example, one time I had a stroke, the bacteria began acting up," said Harry.
In addition to passing the meat is eaten, the transmission can also be through direct contact with animals that are resistant to antimicrobials.
The bacteria in animals that have antibiotic resistance can be passed to humans. As a result of a new antibiotic resistance was seen when the man was ill or body resistance decreases.
Giving antibiotics in livestock should only be to the sick animals. That, too, there is a special antibiotic drugs for animals.
In fact, there are many who give antibiotics to animals to promote growth.
According to Harry, education about antibiotic resistance should continuously be given, either to health workers, communities, and farmers.
