PREVALANCE OF SALMONELLA SPP. IN MILK AND DAIRY PRODUCTS AND ITS ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE PATTERN

One Health fundamentally acknowledges that human health is linked to animal health and the environment. One of the pillars One Health is built on is zoonoses. Through the years, zoonotic infections have caused numerous outbreaks and pandemics, as well as millions of fatalities, with the COVID-19 pandemic being the latest one. Apart from the consequences to public health, zoonoses also affect society and the economy. Since its establishment, One Health has contributed significantly to the protection of humans, animals, and the environment, through preparedness, surveillance, and mitigation of such public dangers.
The action framework for «One Health» comprises of five distinct pillars: food safety, the bond formed between humans and animals, antimicrobial resistance, water contamination, and zoonoses. A basic prerequisite for the establishment and organization of a «One Health Platform» is the development of an interdisciplinary team that consists of public health experts, like medical doctors, veterinarians, biologists, and ecologists, as well as public health administrative officers.
The One Health Concept The One Health concept was initially introduced in 1850, when Rudolph Virchow first used the term “One Medicine” in order to define the lifecycle of Trichinella spiralis. Virchow was actually the first scientist who described how Trichinella spiralis affects both humans and animals, particularly swine, leading to the “discovery” of zoonoses and how all living organisms are linked
In 2007, a conference, «The International Ministerial Conference on Avian and Pandemic Influenza» took place in New Delhi, with delegates from 111 nations and 29 international organizations. As recommended by this conference, the FAO, WOAH, WHO, UNICEF, the World Bank, and the United Nations System Influenza Coordination (UNSIC) collaborated in order to create a document titled “Contributing to One World, One HealthTM-A Strategic Framework for Reducing Risks of Infectious Diseases at the AnimalHuman-Ecosystems Interface” . One Health was officially established
• A One Health approach recognizes that the health of people, animals, and the environment are connected.
• Fungal diseases spread between people and animals and through the environment.
• Increasing antifungal resistance and the impacts of climate change on fungal diseases are two main fungal One Health issues
• A One Health approach recognizes that the health of people is closely connected to animal health and our shared environment.
• One Health helps explain and address how fungal diseases emerge and spread. Fungi that cause human diseases live in the environment and are impacted by climate changes. Some fungal diseases can spread between animals and people.
• Diseases affecting people and animals
• Some fungal diseases, such as ringworm, are zoonotic, meaning that the disease can spread from animals and peo

2. To isolate and identify Salmonella spp. from milk and
dairy products through conventional techniques.
To validate the isolates by DNA based method like
PCR.
To study the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the
isolates obtained from milk and dairy products.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

3. Isolation of salmonella sp. from food samples is notably difficult.
(Finally, food samples, especially fresh produce and spices, can be notably difficult for traditional microbiological methods due to the high numbers of indigenous
microbiota and the presence of antimicrobials found within the food commodity (Jameson, 1962; Arora and Kaur, 1999; Singer et al., 2009; Kim et al., 2011; Bell et al., 2012;
Gorski, 2012; Pettengill et al., 2012).
Isolates obtained from Raw milk and Pasteurized milk samples is NIL.
Why?.
Presence of Salmonella sp. in dairy products. Justification.
AMR pattern – Significance and its relation to Public health especially
in geriatric patients.
Judicious use of therapeutic antimicrobials is an integral part of good
veterinary practice. It is an approach to maximize therapeutic efficacy
and minimize selection of resistant microorganisms.
