Equine antibiotic resistance: epidemiology, regulation and strategies there of

Antimicrobial resistance is the ability of the microbe to endure and multiply within the body tissues in the presence of highest tolerated antimicrobial dose. This being a global healthcare threat, it has not just remained confined to humans but has successfully stretched its presence even in animals. Of the various antimicrobials used in veterinary practices, antibiotics are quite readily prescribed by the veterinarians against infections, becoming the basis of developing bacterial resistance in animals. However, it is only recently that the antimicrobial resistance in horses has started to receive due attention, at both, public and clinical levels.
