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
- In Bangladesh, zoonotic anthrax transmission from animals to humans presents significant challenges, especially in areas with limited resources, prompting a literature review to enhance prevention and control strategies.
- Of the 27 studies reviewed, a total of 6,354 animal anthrax cases resulted in 998 deaths, with human infections largely influenced by factors like lack of awareness and risky practices related to handling contaminated materials.
- The study emphasizes the need for a One Health approach that integrates animal health, human health, and environmental management to effectively mitigate anthrax outbreaks through vaccination and behavioral change initiatives.
Exploring the prevalence of antibiotic resistance patterns and drivers of antibiotics resistance of in livestock and poultry-derived foods: a systematic review and meta-analysis in Bangladesh from 2000 to 2022.

Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical public health issue in Bangladesh, with a focus on the prevalence of AMR in livestock- and poultry-derived foods from January 2000 to August 2022.
- The study found a combined prevalence of AMR in these foods at 37%, with tetracycline showing the highest resistance (81%) and neomycin the lowest (4%).
- The research highlights the increasing trend of AMR over time and calls for better monitoring, antibiotic regimen development, and improved food handling practices to combat this rising threat.

Non-typhoidal provides an exemplar for the One Health approach as it encompasses public and animal health, food safety, and environmental considerations. The contribution of environmental aspects is currently less well-defined. The purpose of this study was to determine the carriage occurrence of non-typhoidal in migratory birds in Bangladesh and assess the potential significance to public and animal health.

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat for humans and animals. Environmental contamination of antimicrobials from human and domestic animal feces has been linked to AMR in wildlife populations, including rhesus macaques. This study aimed to describe the eco-epidemiology of AMR within and species isolated from rhesus macaques.

The COVID-19 pandemic had harmed Black/African Americans disproportionately. Mortality and morbidity can reduce by increasing vaccination acceptability and availability. We conducted a meta-analysis of 20 studies that show the prevalence of Black/African Americans who embrace COVID-19 vaccination between 2020 and September, 2022.

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.
