Enhanced Retail Meat Surveillance for the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System

项目摘要 背景 抗菌药物耐药性是一个严重的健康威胁。在食用动物中使用抗菌剂 可导致细菌产生耐药性，随后引起严重的 感染人类和牲畜。这种来自耐药细菌的感染正在成为 一些病原体对多种类型或类别的抗生素具有耐药性。的损失 有效的抗生素会削弱我们对抗感染和控制感染的能力， 易受伤害患者的相关并发症。 新墨西哥州卫生部科学实验室司（SLD）参加了 自2004年以来，与NM EIP Foodnet合作开展零售肉类监测（RMS）。最初 EIP监督官员每月收集、购买和运送肉类 然而，2015年8月，所有RMS采购活动都转移到了 的SLD。 目的 本研究的目的是确定耐药性的流行， 沙门氏菌、弯曲杆菌、E.大肠杆菌及肠球菌， 从新墨西哥州的杂货店买来的碎火鸡、碎牛肉和猪排。这 是一个为期五年的资助项目。

Project Summary Background Antimicrobial resistance is a serious health threats. The use of antimicrobials in food animals can lead to the development of drug resistance in bacteria which subsequently cause serious infections in humans and livestock. Such infections, from resistant bacteria, are becoming ubiquitous with some pathogens resistant to multiple types or classes of antibiotics. The loss of effective antibiotics will undermine our ability to combat infections and to manage infection- related complications among vulnerable patients. The New Mexico Department of Health Scientific Laboratory Division (SLD) has participated in the Retail Meat Surveillance (RMS) since 2004, in collaboration with NM EIP Foodnet. Initially the EIP Surveillance Officers conducted the monthly collection, purchase and delivery of meat samples to the SLD, however, in August 2015 all RMS purchasing activities were transferred to the SLD. Objective The goal of this study is to determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among Salmonella, Campylobacter, E. coli and Enterococci isolated from retail samples of retail chicken, ground turkey, ground beef and pork chops purchased from grocery stores in New Mexico. This is a five year grant project.
