Overview
• Trends in Foodborne Diseases and Antimicrobial Resistance
• National and State Antimicrobial Resistance Programs
• Ways to work together
TM
Important Declines in Foodborne Pathogens
• FoodNet reported important declines in the major foodborne diseases in 2004 compared to 1996– E. coli O157:H7, Campylobacter, Salmonella
have declined from 8-42%– MMWR April 2005

Trends in Selected Pathogens, 1996-98 to 2004
TM
Reasons for E. coli 0157 declines
• Important changes by major cattle slaughter plants– Prevent contamination when remove hide– Steam pasteurization after process– Test and hold meat

TM
Antimicrobial Resistance Trends
• Increase in multi-drug resistance– Salmonella Typhimurium DT104– MDR-AmpC Salmonella Newport
• Increase in resistance to clinically important antimicrobial agents– Third generation cephalosporins – Salmonella – Fluoroquinolones – Campylobacter,
Salmonella including S. Typhi, Shigella

MDR Salmonella Newport in Animals
• 2004 Salmonella outbreak in horses in Pennsylvania
• Highly resistant Newport strain
• Significant mortality associated with infection
TM
Bridging the Gap
• Can public health and animal health work together?
• Is there really a gap??
TM
Public Health’s Mission
• CDC's MissionTo promote health and quality of life by preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability.
• APHL’s MissionThe Association of Public Health Laboratories(APHL) works to safeguard the public's health bystrengthening public health laboratories in the United States and across the world.
TM
Veterinary Oath
• Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health, the relief of animal suffering, the conservation of livestock resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge.
TM
Common Theme
• Society
• Prevent Disease
• Control Disease
• Public Health
TM
Is There A Gap?
• On paper….– NO!
• Ability to communicate…– YES!

Antimicrobial Resistance: A Complex Problem In Veterinary
Medicine
• Companion animals• Farm animals, including food animals• Individual patients, herd health, human health• Antimicrobial agent use without direct
veterinary supervision– Over the counter sales
• Client education– Pet owners like parents– Food animal producers
TM
Get Smart on the FarmEducational Activities to Promote Appropriate Use
of Antimicrobial Agents in Animal Health
• Veterinary Curriculum
• State-based Interventions
TM
• Enhance veterinary education in antimicrobial resistance
• Promote appropriate use of antimicrobial agentsin veterinary medicine
Veterinary Curriculum
• Web-based with background, species specific sections
• Microbiology, pharmacology, public health
TM
State-based Interventions Foster Collaboration between state public health and
veterinary communities
• Establish local surveillance of antimicrobial resistance among enteric bacteria from humans and animals
• Develop community-based programs on appropriate use
of antimicrobial agents in animals

Animal Health Practices on
Washington Dairy Farms
A Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department
Antibiotic Resistance Task Force Project
Primary Investigator: Monica Raymond, MPH, MS, RNProject Coordinator: Ron Wohrle, DVMAdvisory Board Chairman: Robert Whitney, DVM
TM
Background
• Focus on dairy industry
• Collect real-world data on use of antibiotics and biosecurity practices on farm
• Establish relationships with dairy producers, dairy organizations, and veterinarians
TM
Project Methods
• Initiate dialogue with veterinarians, producer organizations, local health departments, other constituencies
• Survey producers on knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to antibiotic use and biosecurity
TM
Project Approach
• Voluntary
• Supportive
• Focus on benefits to producers
• COLLABORATIVE
TM
Survey of Animal Health Practices on
WashingtonDairy Farms
July 2003
Endorsed by theWashington StateDairy Federation
This is a collaborative effort between professional veterinary, animal agricultural, human health, and public health
communities in Washington State
TM
“FARM SOCIOLOGY 101"
WE “MANAGE’ ORGANISMS--- PRODUCERS “MANAGE”ANIMALS
WE VALUE “INFORMATION”---PRODUCERS VALUE “A WAYOF LIFE”
WE STRIVE FOR “FREEDOM FROM DISEASE”---PRODUCERS STRIVE FOR “THE OPTIMUM LEVEL OF DISEASE THEY
CAN LIVE WITH AND SURVIVE”
TM
Needs Assessment Survey
• Producer knowledge• Attitudes and practices• Biosecurity and antibiotic use• Four major areas
– Herd characteristics– Colostrum & calf management– Animal health management practices– Producer background information
TM
Needs Assessment Survey
• 15 page (65 questions) self-administered mail questionnaire with $5 incentive
• Pre-notice letter of endorsement by Washington State Dairy Federation
• Representatives from partners aided in question and survey design
TM
Summary
• Approximately 600 dairy operations in WA State• Major uses of antibiotics in dairy cattle:
– Calf milk replacer– Dry-off lactating cows– Treatment of mastitis, calf diarrhea, respiratory
illness• Major biosecurity issues
– calf immunity– introduction of newly purchased animals– calving and sick pens

Washington Conclusions
• Given openness on both “sides” - public health and industry, a collaborative approach can be an effective method for addressing antibiotic use in agriculture
• There is willingness in the DAIRY industry to examine antibiotic use and take steps to use antibiotics more judiciously
TM
Important Points
• There are many silos– Lack of communication– Lack of understanding other disciplines
• A need to share commonalities
TM
Bridge Building
• The gap is not that large– Communication is a must
• Positive examples to follow
• Silos still need to be broken down
• Many potential collaborations/sources of information
