Resistome fest – June 2024

Antimicrobial resistance is a critical issue in veterinary medicine, with implications for animal health, welfare, and human health . The use of antimicrobial agents in veterinary medicine plays a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections in animals. However, the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance can lead to treatment failures in both animals and humans, posing a significant challenge to the effective prevention and treatment of bacterial infections.
Furthermore, the use of antimicrobial agents in veterinary medicine is intertwined with the concept of One Health, which recognizes the interconnectedness of animal, human, and environmental health. The misuse and overuse of antibiotics in animals can contribute to the development of resistant bacteria, which can then be transmitted to humans through direct contact, food consumption, or environmental contamination.
Understanding the drivers of antimicrobial resistance in veterinary medicine is crucial in order to implement effective strategies to mitigate its impact. This encompasses addressing factors such as inappropriate antimicrobial use, lack of regulatory control, and the need for improved diagnostic techniques to facilitate targeted and judicious use of antibiotics.
Moreover, collaboration between veterinarians, animal health professionals, public health officials, and researchers is essential to develop and promote antimicrobial stewardship programs that aim to optimize the use of antimicrobial agents while minimizing the development and spread of resistance.

El Semillero de Investigación Patogénesis es un espacio de discusión y estudio de las ciencias veterinarias y ciencias básicas biomédicas con el fin de construir bases sólidas para el entendimiento de los procesos de enfermedad en los animales, así como para descubrir oportunidades de investigacion en el campo de la biología, fisiología y fisiopatología animal.
En el Semillero Patogénesis confluyen estudiantes de diferentes semestres, incluyendo egresados, de los programas de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia, Biología, y Medicina, de la Universidad del Tolima, lo cual enriquece la discusión argumentada de los conceptos y promueve la interdisciplinariedad de las ciencias.

El Semillero puede ser encontrado en Instagram, donde se comparten visualmente las actividades desarrolladas en las reuniones @semilleropatogenesis.
