Antibiotics

ABX
• Agents made by bacteria/mold to inhibit
bacterial growth

Do NOT kill viruses
• Use



treat infections in humans and animals
growth promotion in animals
Bacteria
• Pathogenic - harmful/disease causing

e.g. Salmonella, Escheria coli O157:H7
• Beneficial – non harmful


Commensal - symbiotic relationship which benefits one
species while the other is unaffected
lots of commensal bacteria in gut (E. coli spp.)
History of Antibiotics

1800’s: “germ theory”
• Began search for ABX

1929: Fleming discovered Penicillin
• 1942 1st large scale use of Penicillin
• Used largely during WWII

1946: Penicillin widely available clinically
• Obtainable OTC by the public until the mid ‘50s


Dev’t of more ABX over next few decades
1970’s: Antibiotic Resistance (AR)
recognized as a real threat
• Meningitis & gonorrhea strains resistant to
penicillin
AB Resistance

Bacteria’s ability to produce a protein
that:
• disables an ABX or
• prevents transport of the ABX into the cell


Main hypothesis of AR:
Genetic + antibiotics in = antibiotic
mutations environment
resistance
N. gonorrhoeae (gonorrhea) resistance:
penicillin
tetracycline
flouroquinolones
SOON
cephalosporins

Antibiotics used for growth promotion 
pigs gain weight:


3.3-8.8% increased weight
2.5-7.0% feed efficiency
• Food Research Institute, Doyle, 1998

ABX use by farmers is not regulated

~25 million pounds annually used
History of Tetracycline

1948: introduction of tetracycline
• Made by Streptomyces bacterium in soil
• Chemical structure:


• “broad spectrum”
• low toxicity
1953: Shigella dysenteriae dev. resistance to tetracycline
Today 2nd to penicillin in the world in production and
use
• Treat: Respiratory tract infections, typhus, cholera,
brucellosis, anthrax, syphilis, Chlamydia, acne
• Also used widely for growth promotion in animals.
Tet Mechanisms of Action

Tetracycline inhibits
bacterial growth by
inhibiting
translation.
• It binds to the
ribosomal subunit
and prevents the
amino-acyl tRNA
from binding to the
A site of the
ribosome.

Growth Promotion
 There has been a lack of serious
studies in the amounts of antibiotics
given to livestock and its link to the
increasing rates of resistance genes.

Central Question

Does the use of tetracycline as a
growth promotant affect tetracycline
resistance in swine fecal flora?
Central Hypothesis

The use of tetracycline as a growth
promotant will  frequency of
detecting Tet Resistance Genes in
swine fecal flora.
Effects of Growth Promotional use
of Chlorotetracycline (CTC)

Large-scale, multi-year study led by
Julie Funk @ Ohio State Univ. (OSU)
Epidemiological approach to studying
the use of CTC as a growth
promotant for swine

Looked for AR bacteria

CDC Year 1 Study Design
Temporally matched Barn Pair
Treatment
(50g CTC/ton of feed)
Control
(no antibiotics in the feed)
Treatment from 10 weeks (50 lbs) until 6 months old (250 lbs).
• Pigs sampled pre-slaughter
• 14 barn pairs total
• 96 pigs per barn
• 2688 total pigs sampled

Objectives

To study the distribution of tetracycline resistance
genes found in the fecal flora of pigs
• + CTC diet in their finishing phase.
• Ctrl: NO growth promotional use of ABX

Our Study Population
• 10 barn pairs
• 48 pigs per barn


480 total pigs sampled
Recall there are at least 38 tet resistance genes
• Are certain genes found more often under the selective
pressure of tetracycline?

Discussion


At least one tet res gene in 81% of both
treatment groups
5/8 tet res genes showed no statistical diff. btw
treatment groups or were not high in frequency
• tet(C), (L), (M) similar high frequency in both swine
groups
• tet(B), (D), (K) min. to 0 frequency in both swine
groups
• tet(S) mostly found in ctrl samples
• tet(O) mostly found in CTC samples

Group 4 AR genes in both treatment groups
• 3/3 tet res genes statistically diff. btw treatment groups


Most tet genes found in CTC groups
Group 2 data in progress
Future Work

Complete sample processing
• 4 more barn pairs


Look at more tet resistance genes
Try to quantitate the amount of each
tet gene present in the sample
