Fluoroquinolonas em aves para consumo humano

Abstract

O objetivo desta revisão bibliográfica foi alertar para a problemática da administração de antibióticos, muitas vezes de forma abusiva, em aves produzidas para o consumo humano e a ligação desta problemática com a resistência a antibióticos por parte da população humana. O consumo de aves tem vindo a aumentar em toda a União Europeia ao longo dos últimos anos. Este aumento deve-se ao custo reduzido deste tipo de alimentos e ainda porque o seu consumo está relacionado com uma dieta hipocalórica, fazendo assim parte de uma alimentação mais saudável. O risco da utilização de antibióticos em medicina veterinária, nomeadamente em animais para consumo humano está associado à emergência de resistências bacterianas. Tema atual de discussão relacionado com a saúde humana e animal. As fluoroquinolonas (FQs) são antibióticos com aplicação tanto em medicina veterinária como em medicina humana. Possuem uma grande atividade frente a um grande espectro de bactérias e, devido à sua baixa percentagem de união a proteínas plasmáticas têm um bom volume de distribuição, constituindo assim uma vantagem para o tratamento de infeções do trato respiratório e urinário. Em Portugal o consumo de FQs em medicina veterinária é o mais elevado da União Europeia tendo em conta a carne para consumo humano produzida. Este consumo traduz-se também em elevados índices de resistências bacterianas a FQs, nomeadamente em bactérias provenientes de aves produzidas para consumo humano. É necessário apelar ao uso racional destes antibióticos na indústria alimentar minimizando a emergência de resistências bacterianas e possível transmissão ao Homem através dos alimentos consumidos.

The purpose of this work was to address the issue of the use of antibiotics, often abusively, in poultry produced for human consumption and the relation of this issue with the emergence of bacterial resistance. The consumption of poultry has been increasing throughout the European Union in recent years. This increase is due to the reduced cost of this type of food and also because its consumption is related to a low fat intake, thus making it part of a healthier diet. The risk of using antibiotics in veterinary medicine, particularly in animals for human consumption, is associated with the emergence of bacterial resistance. Current topic of discussion related to human and animal health. Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are antibiotics used in both, veterinary medicine and human medicine. They have a large spectrum against bacteria and, due to their low binding to plasma proteins have a good distribution volume, thus constitute an advantage for the treatment of respiratory and urinary tract infections. In Portugal the consumption of FQs in veterinary medicine is the highest in the European Union taking into account the meat for human consumption produced. This consumption also translates into high rates of bacterial resistance to FQs, particularly in bacteria from poultry produced for human consumption. It is necessary to make aware for the rational use of these antibiotics in the food industry, minimizing the emergence of bacterial resistance and possible transmission to humans through the food chain.
