Overview

Narrative review demonstrates transmission pathways of livestock drug resistance to humans, highlighting the urgent need for coordinated agricultural interventions.

Key Points

  • To review antimicrobial utilization in food-producing animals, evaluate resistance transmission routes to human populations, and outline potential countermeasures.
  • Narrative review synthesizing evidence on antimicrobial feed additives and livestock management practices.
  • Evaluation of resistance transmission pathways across food supply chains and environmental vectors, including water, air, soil, and manure.
  • Extensive administration of antimicrobials in livestock feed accelerates antibacterial resistance emergence, compromising human clinical antimicrobial therapy.
  • Resistant pathogens transmit to humans through consumption of contaminated animal products and exposure to environmental reservoirs such as agricultural runoff and manure.
