Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) of veterinarians in Bangladesh regarding antibiotic use and resistance, highlighting a gap in research compared to human medicine.
  • Conducted through an online survey with 208 registered veterinarians, the results indicated that a significant majority understood the limitations of antibiotics and expressed concerns about antibiotic use in livestock for growth promotion.
  • Findings revealed that male veterinarians had higher knowledge about antimicrobial use and resistance, and those in government services showed a more positive attitude towards responsible antibiotic practices.

Wet markets in low-and middle-income countries are often reported to have inadequate sanitation resulting in fecal contamination of sold produce. Consumption of contaminated wet market-sourced foods has been linked to individual illness and disease outbreaks. This pilot study, conducted in two major wet markets in Dhaka city, Bangladesh during a 4-month period in 2021 aimed to assess the occurrence and characteristics of and non-typhoidal spp.

Article Synopsis
  • - Antibiotic use in animals contributes significantly to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), but research on veterinary students' knowledge and practices is limited compared to humans.
  • - A study of 3002 veterinary and non-medical students in Bangladesh found that veterinary students had better knowledge and practices regarding antibiotics and AMR, especially first-year students versus final-year students.
  • - Despite positive impacts from the veterinary curriculum, gaps in knowledge and practices were identified, indicating a need for improved education on AMR to better prepare future practitioners.
