The proportion of veterinarians (92.0%) which knowledge about zoonosis was much higher (P < 0.001) than that of para-veterinarians (32.4%). Collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression models. Cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted on 582 participants and 529 responded. This study was aimed to assess zoonotic disease knowledge, risk perceptions, and preventive practices of animal health professionals in Nigeria.

Apesar disso, apenas 8% dos entrevistados relataram já terem apresentado lesões características a da esporotricose, o que mostra que se houvesse maior cautela e conhecimento desse público ao realizar o manejo desses animais, essa incidência poderia ser ainda menor. Mais da metade de voluntários que realizam resgates não usam EPIs adequados ou somente os usam quando o animal é agressivo, reforçando tamanha exposição e vulnerabilidade. Supreendentemente, quase metade das pessoas entrevistadas, que trabalham e podem estar expostas a tal zoonose, desconheciam sobre a doença. Este trabalho teve como objetivo rastrear o conhecimento sobre essa enfermidade entre voluntários de ONGs protetoras de animais e protetores independentes do estado de São Paulo. É uma zoonose em ascensão no Brasil e o felino doméstico tem grande papel epidemiológico, visto que a transmissão zoonótica vêm crescendo nos últimos anos. Overall, HH in companion animal medicine should urgently be fostered.Ī esporotricose é uma doença ocasionada pelo fungo do gênero Sporothrix que acomete diversas espécies animais e seres humanos. Gloving should not be regarded as a substitute for HH.

Three hand swabs (1.5% (0.4–4.3%)) were positive for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Mean TVC before patient contact was lower (0.52 log CFU/cm2) than after patient contact (1.02 log CFU/cm2) but was similar before patient contact on gloved and ungloved hands. Gloves were worn in 22.0% (18.0–26.6%) of HH observations and were indicated in 37.2% (27.3–48.3%) of these observations. HH differed between hospital areas (p = 0.0035) and HH indications (p < 0.0001). HH compliance (95% confidence interval) was 36.6% (33.8–39.5%) and was similar when assessed with the two evaluation tools. In 202 hand swabs from 87 staff members, total viable count (TVC) before and after patient contact was evaluated and the swabs were tested for selected antimicrobial resistant microorganisms of public health importance. The present study compared an online application with the WHO evaluation form to assess the WHO five moments of HH in a Swiss companion animal clinic. HH compliance in companion animal clinics has been reported to be poor. Hand hygiene (HH) is the most important measure to prevent nosocomial infections. Furthermore, we present the recent intervention strategies aimed at reducing and combating the formation of bacterial biofilms in livestock farms. The aim of this review was emphasize the importance of biosecurity and farm management practices and to assess their impact on bacterial biofilm formation. alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and coumarins) were also extensively studied and reviewed given their effectiveness against pathogen-produced biofilms. Interventions, based on the identification of novel antimicrobial compounds, that would exclude the occurrence of bacterial tolerance, including essential oils (oregano, cloves), organic acids (tannic & oleic acid) and natural plant compounds (e.g. At molecular level, the limited diffusion of biocides in the biofilm matrix, enzyme-mediated resistance, genetic adaptation, efflux pumps, and levels of metabolic activity inside the biofilm are some of the investigated biological mechanisms which can promote antimicrobial resistance in biofilms were also investigated. To date, research was mainly focused on studying the antimicrobial resistance in bacterial biofilms and the mechanisms involved in their occurrence. Infections, predominantly caused by zoonotic agents, often occur due to a lack of safety standards monitoring on farms, but also because of the use of inappropriate antimicrobial products leading to bacterial resistance, tolerance to biocides and the emergence antimicrobial-resistant germs. Farm biosecurity management includes a set of practical measures used to prevent and limit the spread of infections to humans and animals.
