Article Synopsis
- Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species are increasingly being identified as a cause of intramammary infections in dairy cattle, presenting risks to public health and economics, particularly in Northwestern Ethiopia.
- A study conducted from February to August 2022 isolated these bacteria from 290 milk samples, revealing a prevalence of 28.6% with high resistance to common antibiotics like Amoxicillin and Ampicillin, and notable rates of multidrug resistance.
- The study also detected several virulence genes in the isolates, suggesting a concerning potential for pathogenicity in these antibiotic-resistant strains.
Importance: Equines are indispensable in reducing the huge burden on children and women and income generation. On the other hand, minimal attention is given to improving their health and welfare.
Objective: This study examined the prevalence and associated risk factors of helminth parasites of equine in the Gamo Gofa Zone.
The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant microbes become a serious threat to animal and human health globally because of their less responsiveness to conventional antimicrobial therapy. Multidrug-resistant microbial infection poses higher morbidity and mortality rate with significant economic losses. Currently, antimicrobial peptides and the CRISPR/Cas9 system are explored as alternative therapy to circumvent the challenges of multidrug-resistant organisms.
