What Do We Do With The Numbers? - Dr. Katie Hope, Graduate Research Assistant, Kansas State University, College of Veterinary Medicine, from the 2018 NIAA Antibiotic Symposium: New Science & Technology Tools for Antibiotic Stewardship, November 13-15, 2018, Overland Park, KS, USA.

3. PROJECT OVERVIEW
No requirements on size (number of cattle fed out/year)
No requirements on record system types
Types of Systems
Sales data
On farm management software
Data from an intermediary management group
4. Capturing Use Data
Granular
Coupled to cause
Accurate
Current Historical
Not coupled to cause
Approximate
Aggregate
What we would like… We would really rather not…
Easy Resource intensive
Enables benchmarking Unable to benchmark

7. OPTIMIZATION OF DISEASE PREVENTION
Best way to optimize disease treatment….
Not having to use the antimicrobial in the first place
8. 2. Non –
Antibiotic
Alternative?
4. How can we
prevent this
disease?

need this drug?

16. SELECTION PRESSURE

Substance, class, number of molecules
Amount
Dose (high vs low)
Total dose given (multiple low doses, a few high doses)
Interval
Total time
Number of exposures
Route
Oral, injectable, dermal
17. “If you think you understand antimicrobial
resistance, it has not been adequately explained to
you.”
19. OTHER CONCERNS
What question is being asked?
Resistance development
Animals and humans
Improving management, nutrition, genetics, education, etc
Decrease need for antimicrobial use
20. Antimicrobial use monitoring without
considering animal health is
nonsensical
If truly concerned about animal
health, these are tied together
Editor's Notes
Exists for all major proteins
Collaboration between working groups.
Have solid case definitions – especially for producers treating their own animals
Are there non-AM alternatives that are efficacious and (for a lot of ppl, affordable) -- if so, stop.
Choose an drug appropriate for disease
But at the same time, look at why the disease occurred in the first place – source of animals, weather, nutrition, genetics
Always evaluate need for continued use of drug – if disease is gone, then stop.
DADD : Defined animal daily dose
DAPD : DADD per 1,000 animals per day ; estimate of the proportion of animals treated daily with a particular antimicrobial agent
DCD : Number of DDD per 1000 physician contacts per day
DCDvet : Defined Course Dose for Animals
DDD: Defined Daily Dose
DDDvet : Defined Daily Dose for Animals
UDDvet : Used Daily Doses
PCU : Population Correction Unit
ACD: Animal Course Dose
DOT: Days of therapy assigned to a specific AM – good for short acting multi-dose drugs. Falls apart with single injection LA medications.
Here are specific parameters commonly used
Answer – Resistance pressure put on by exposure time.
We don’t know what combination/combinations are better….or worse
Have to consider the bacterial population that is exposed – are resistance genes already present, spontaneous mutations, etc
Data granularity
Outcomes
Only use one or one type of DDD/DCD – inappropriate benchmarking
Number of yards, size of yards, record systems available ???
Is IMM exposure better or worse than systemic
Duration vs total mg vs efficacy
