Thesis Overview

The project titled "Analysis of Antibiotic Resistance in Veterinary Pathogens and Its Implications for Public Health" aims to investigate the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance in veterinary pathogens and explore its potential implications for public health. Antibiotic resistance is a pressing global issue that threatens the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatments in both human and animal populations. In veterinary medicine, the emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens poses a significant challenge to the treatment of infectious diseases in animals. The research will involve a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in veterinary pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites. By examining the genetic, biochemical, and evolutionary factors that contribute to antibiotic resistance, the study aims to enhance our understanding of how these pathogens develop resistance to commonly used antibiotics. Furthermore, the project will investigate the potential pathways through which antibiotic-resistant veterinary pathogens can spread to humans and impact public health. This includes exploring the role of zoonotic transmission, environmental contamination, and foodborne transmission in the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant pathogens from animals to humans. Through a combination of laboratory experiments, field surveys, and data analysis, the research will generate valuable insights into the prevalence and distribution of antibiotic resistance in veterinary pathogens. By identifying key factors driving the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance, the study aims to inform the development of strategies to mitigate the impact of antibiotic resistance on both animal and human health. Overall, the project on the analysis of antibiotic resistance in veterinary pathogens and its implications for public health represents a critical contribution to the One Health approach, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. By addressing the complex dynamics of antibiotic resistance in veterinary pathogens, the research seeks to improve our ability to combat antimicrobial resistance and safeguard public health for current and future generations.
