RESUMO
National action plans enumerate many interventions as potential strategies to reduce the burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR). However, knowledge of the benefits achievable by specific approaches is needed to inform policy making, especially in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) with substantial AMR burden and low health-care system capacity. In a modelling analysis, we estimated that improving infection prevention and control programmes in LMIC health-care settings could prevent at least 337 000 (95% CI 250 200-465 200) AMR-associated deaths annually. Ensuring universal access to high-quality water, sanitation, and hygiene services would prevent 247 800 (160 000-337 800) AMR-associated deaths and paediatric vaccines 181 500 (153 400-206 800) AMR-associated deaths, from both direct prevention of resistant infections and reductions in antibiotic consumption. These estimates translate to prevention of 7·8% (5·6-11·0) of all AMR-associated mortality in LMICs by infection prevention and control, 5·7% (3·7-8·0) by water, sanitation, and hygiene, and 4·2% (3·4-5·1) by vaccination interventions. Despite the continuing need for research and innovation to overcome limitations of existing approaches, our findings indicate that reducing global AMR burden by 10% by the year 2030 is achievable with existing interventions. Our results should guide investments in public health interventions with the greatest potential to reduce AMR burden.

Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp. y Listeria monocytogenes son patógenos zoonóticos causantes de enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos asociadas al consumo de productos de origen animal contaminados. En este estudio se determinaron la prevalencia y los factores de riesgo asociados a la presencia de estos microorganismos en todos los eslabones de producción de pollos de engorde en dos empresas integradoras avícolas colombianas (EI-I y EI-II). En la EI-I, se aislaron Campylobacter spp., y Salmonella spp., del 10 % y el 4,4 % de las muestras, y el serotipo predominante de esta última fue S. Heildelberg. Se encontró Salmonella spp., en 6 % de las muestras de manos y materia fecal de los trabajadores, y S. Saphra fue el serotipo más común. En la EI-II, la prevalencia de Campylobacter spp., y Salmonella spp., en muestras de animales fue del 7 % y el 17 %, respectivamente. No se detectó L. monocytogenes. Este trabajo estableció la prevalencia de los patógenos zoonóticos a lo largo de la cadena productiva, evidenció la presencia de trabajadores/manipuladores portadores de los patógenos y determinó, que la falta de reconocimiento médico de los empleados en el último año constituye un posible factor de riesgo para la portación de Salmonella spp.
Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., and L. monocytogenes are zoonotic foodborne pathogens, associated with the consumption of contaminated foods of animal origin. In this study we determined the prevalence and risk factors associated with the presence of these microorganisms at all stages of the production system, in two Colombian poultry companies (EI-EI-I and II). In EI-I, Campylobacter spp., and Salmonella spp., were isolated from 10 % and 4.4 % of the specimens, and S. Heidelberg was the predominant serotype. Salmonella spp., was found in 6 % of hands and stool samples of workers. S. Saphra was the most prevalent serotype. In EI-II, the prevalence of Campylobacter spp., and Salmonella spp., from animal specimens was 7 % and 17 %, respectively. L. monocytogenes was not detected. This study established the prevalence of these zoonotic pathogens through the production chain and showed the presence of pathogen carriers among workers/food handlers. Lack of medical examination of employees in the previous year was found to be a possible risk factor for carriage of Salmonella spp.

Neste estudo se determinou a prevalência e os fatores de risco associados à presença destes microrganismos em todos os elos de produção do frango de engorda em duas empresas integradoras avícolas colombianas (EI-I y EI-II). Na EI-I, Campylobacter spp. e Salmonella spp. foram isolados de 10% e 4,4% das amostras, sendo S. Heildelberg ou serótipo predominante. Se encontrou Salmonella spp. em 6% das amostras de mãos e matéria fecal dos trabalhadores, sendo S. Saphra o serótipo mais comum. Na EI-II, a prevalência de Campylobacterspp. e Salmonella spp. em amostras animais foi de 7% e 17% respectivamente. L.monocytogenes não foi detectada. Este estudo estabeleceu a prevalência dos patógenos zoonóticos através da cadeia produtiva, evidenciou a presença de portadores dos patógenos entre os trabalhadores/manipuladores e determinou, a falta de reconhecimento médico dos empregados no último ano constitui um possível fator de risco para a porte de Salmonella spp.
