MULTI-RESISTANT BACTERIAL AGENTS PRESENT IN DOMESTIC ANIMALS

Coordinator: Ariel Eurides Stella

THIS PROJECT AIMS TO RELATE POTENTIALLY MULTI-RESISTANT BACTERIA WITH THE INCREASE IN CASES OF FATAL INFECTIONS CAUSED BY THESE MICROORGANISMS. THESE STRAINS CAN BE FOUND IN HUMANS AND ANIMALS, AND THERE IS A REAL RISK OF COLONIZATION OF HUMANS BY STRAINS OF ANIMAL ORIGIN OR VICE VERSA, EITHER INDIRECTLY THROUGH THE CONSUMPTION OF CONTAMINATED FOOD OF ANIMAL ORIGIN, OR DIRECTLY DUE TO THE CLOSE PROXIMITY BETWEEN HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS.
