Antibiotic Use in Livestock: A Driver of Resistance in Africa and the Path to Safer Alternatives

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
The incorporation of antibiotics into animal feeds is one of the drivers of antibiotic resistance, a global One Health challenge. To reduce the burden of antibiotic resistance, the use of alternative growth promoters and drugs must be promoted, as well as sensitization and implementation of regulations.

Comparative Characteristics of Physical, Chemical, and Biochemical Methods for Determining Nitrofuran Metabolites in Food [PDF]

Innovative Biosystems and Bioengineering, 2017
Background. Nitrofurans belong to a class of synthetic antibiotics, which are widely used in various livestock sectors due to their high effectiveness in control over infectious diseases and as a growth activator. Nitrofurans are rapidly metabolized compounds, but the metabolites of these drugs are able to bind to protein structures and accumulate in ...

Safety of sulfamethoxazole–trimethoprim for the treatment of bacterial infection in outpatient settings: A systematic review and meta‐analysis with active comparator disproportionality analysis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 91, Issue 6, Page 1632-1648, June 2025.
Aims Sulfamethoxazole–trimethoprim (SMX‐TMP) is a widely used antibiotic for treating bacterial infections, but its safety in adult outpatients remains understudied. This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluated the safety profile of SMX‐TMP and identified critical research gaps.

Novel Metronidazole Conjugates as Antimicrobial Agents

Drug Development Research, Volume 86, Issue 4, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Metronidazole (MTZ) is one of the oldest and still used anti‐infective nitroimidazole group drug. Although it is effective against anaerobic bacteria, protozoa, and parasites in clinical settings, it lacks efficacy against aerobic microorganisms.
