Acquisition and Selection of Antibiotic Resistance in Companion and Farmed Animals and Implications for Transmission to Humans

Abstract
Without antimicrobial drugs, the risk of bacterial infection would render many common medical procedures too dangerous to contemplate because of the risk of infections caused by "opportunistic bacteria". They can live on the patient's skin, or in their intestines, and infection occurs when bacteria get into parts of the body that are normally sterile. A perfect example is urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by faecal bacteria. E. coli is particularly abundant in human faeces so is perfectly placed to cause opportunistic infections. It is one of the most common causes of healthcare pneumonia, surgical site infection, bloodstream infection and UTI in the UK. In order to prevent against and treat opportunistic infections, patients are given antimicrobials.
Almost all antimicrobials are "antibiotics", which means they are derived from natural chemicals produced by microbes found in the environment. Natural antibiotics have been present in the environment for millions of years, and so bacteria living in their presence have had time to evolve mechanisms that can resist their actions, encoded by "resistance genes". Opportunistic bacteria like E. coli can randomly acquire these pre-evolved resistance genes and in a single step, they become insusceptible to a particular antimicrobial. If that insusceptible E. coli colonises a person and then causes an opportunistic infection, the infection will not be treatable with that particular antimicrobial. We refer to this as "antimicrobial resistance" (AMR); however AMR bacteria don't just resist clinical antimicrobial therapy, they beat it.
Animals also carry an abundance of E. coli in their intestines and are frequently treated with antimicrobials. This can select for the acquisition of AMR E. coli which can then be passed on to another animals, directly, or via contamination of the environment with faeces. Theoretically, the AMR E. coli could also be passed on to people, and there is much debate about whether such "zoonotic transmission" happens to any significant degree. This is an important debate because it has led to calls from some to dramatically reduce the amount of antimicrobials that are given to animals with the view that it will reduce the level of AMR in animals, and so the possibility of zoonotic transmission to people. But the potential impact on welfare and food production means this should only be done if there is evidence that it will work.
In this project we will identify what drives acquisition of AMR in animals using E. coli as the exemplar bacterium and dairy cows and dogs as exemplar farmed and companion animals. We will test whether AMR bacteria encountered by an animal as it interacts with the environment influence the AMR profile in its faeces, and/or whether early life antimicrobial use plays a part in selection of AMR bacteria in animals. We will also test whether reducing antimicrobial use in dairy cows actually does reduce AMR in the near-farm environment that is contaminated with their faeces. We will test whether exercising in these contaminated near-farm environments influences the abundance of AMR bacteria in dogs, and whether there is any evidence of direct acquisition of AMR E. coli by dogs from near-farm environments, which might be brought into the home.
Finally, we will investigate whether AMR abundance in human UTI E. coli reduces as antimicrobial drug prescribing reduces in primary care; whether living close to a farm affects AMR abundance in UTI E. coli; whether there is direct evidence for E. coli carried by dogs or found in near-farm environments contaminated by cattle faeces also causing UTIs in humans.
These interlaced studies will provide much needed data about the management changes that might reduce AMR in animals and in humans, and are designed to address the fundamental question of whether zoonotic transmission is particularly significant as a driver of AMR in people relative to antimicrobial drug use by doctors.

Planned Impact
INDUSTRY
This project addresses the impact that the Farming and Veterinary Medicine industries might have on human health through animal-mediated contamination of publically accessible land with AMR bacteria, and because zoonosis is a recognised health and safety risk for farmers and veterinarians. Understanding risk factors for acquisition of AMR in farmed and companion animals and possible ways to mitigate them will help these industries react to growing public concern about AMR and possible legislation in an informed way. Directly involving businesses from these sectors in our project will allow them to advocate for our findings in their own industries. For example, provision of first-hand evidence on the positive effect of reducing antibiotic use on AMR levels on the farms in our study may stimulate a peer-led process to encourage other businesses to consider how to reduce levels further. Limiting the rise of AMR will make farming in the UK more productive (via less untreatable disease) and more economically successful, and will provide a model for tackling AMR elsewhere in the world.
REGULATORY BODIES
The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has confirmed its interest in this project, and we have had meetings with the VMD AMR Surveillance Team about our work. VMD is responsible for channelling EU regulations for reducing AMR in the veterinary controlled environment. VMD recognise, however, that there are significant knowledge gaps, and this study will address three of these: how antibiotic use selects for resistance; current AMR levels in healthy animals and in the environment; what might be done to reduce these levels. Other Defra executive agencies such as Natural England are likely to be interested in our research as it pertains to footpaths and we have included significant Public Health England involvement in the project, so our findings can feed back to provide public information about the importance of reducing exposure to AMR in the environment. Local authorities also have responsibility for establishing areas in which dog faeces must be collected and enforcing bylaws, so the may also be interested.
THIRD SECTOR
Approximately 130,000 dogs were estimated to enter rescue centres run by animal charities in 2009. Dogs mixing in these environments may be an important aspect of AMR transmission, impacting on the management of such centres. Charities also place dogs into new homes (e.g. Dogs Trust re-homed almost 15,000 dogs last year), and information on risk to human health from this project will help inform the best policy. Walking groups including those convened through the Ramblers' Association and the U3A will be interested in the findings of this study. U3A members are likely to be aware through personal experience of the rise of AMR and its role in healthcare-associated and opportunistic community infections, and may benefit from any simple risk mitigation strategies that our findings might suggest.
WIDER PUBLIC
According to Natural England, >800 million visits to the natural environment were made by people in England and Wales between March and May 2015. An estimated 10.5 million dogs are kept as companion animals in the UK, and are often regarded as members of the family. If zoonotic transmission of AMR from the environment, directly or via companion animals, is a significant health risk, then our research promises considerable benefits for the health and wellbeing of the UK population by attempting to identify risk factors for acquisition of AMR in farmed and companion animals, but also by simply highlighting such a risk. For instance, basic hand hygiene is a simple intervention that might be all that is required to have a considerable effect on decreasing the transmission of AMR pathogens.

Description | We have surveyed bacteria that cause urinary tract infections in bacteria from people presenting at GP practices in the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire CCG. We have identified that these bacteria are resistant to key antibiotics - the third generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones - at a rate of 8% and 15%, respectively. We have identified the mechanisms of resistance in these bacteria and have characterized their relationships between each other. There is extensive evidence of person to person transmission, but around 10% of infections are with bacteria that are not considered highly pathogenic. We have confirmed that antibiotic use in humans in primary care is reducing and that this has driven down the prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria causing urinary tract infections in our region, but not in all cases. We have identified paradoxical effects were antibiotic use has reduced, but resiswill be used for this otance to that antibiotic has increased. We are focusing our attention on hospital use of antibiotics in order to try and explain this. We have established novel methods to quantify the amount of antibiotics used in dairy farming. We have compared methods of faecal sample collection and have identified that consistency in sampling methodology across studies is essential if comparative analysis between farms is to be fair. We have surveyed bacteria found in faecal samples from 53 dairy farms in the South West of England. We have quantified the prevalence of bacteria resistant to five important antibiotics. Some are very common, others, particularly the critically important antibiotics, very rare. We have identified the mechanisms of critically important antibiotic resistance, and have clearly demonstrated farm to farm transmission of resistant bacteria. We have compared the bacteria from farms with those found in people living in the same region, but have identified very little overlap, suggesting that humans pass resistant bacteria between each other, and very rarely acquire resistant bacteria that cause urinary tract infections from farms. However, over time, the influence of farm animal derived resistant E. coli may be larger than previously thought. We have identified the factors that influence the prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria on dairy farms in our study. The key risk factor is ambient temperature - in warmer months resistant bacteria are more common, in cold months they are almost nonexistant. We have also identified that calves carry more antibiotic resistant bacteria than adult cows, and will now proceed to try to understand why. We have identified a few farm management practice drivers of antibiotic resistance, including some instances where antibiotic use drives up resistance, and these will form the bases of policy changes aimed at reducing antibiotic resistance in dairy farms. We have surveyed the prevalence of AMR E. coli in faeces from puppies in a national cohort. We have shown that feeding raw meet is a highly significant risk factor for the colonization of puppies with AMR E. coli, particularly for the critically important fluoroquinolones. Moreover, using whole genome sequencing, we have identified that these bacteria found in puppies are very similar to those causing infections in humans in the same region. Suggestive of sharing. |
Exploitation Route | A baseline survey of mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in the community (human and farms) is important because it allows changes over time to be established, for example, if antibiotic use changes or there are changes to the population. The survey can also be used to start predicting which antibiotics are best given for the infections caused by these bacteria in the local region studied. We are potentially above to track transmission of resistant bacteria, which will inform interventions aimed at reducing transmission. We have received MRC funding to take this forward for human infections. We would expect our work to influence the design of farm sampling experiments for benchmarking and research. This will have international implications. |

Five projects funded through DoHSC/UKAid (along with BBSRC & NERC) in the UK and CONICET in Argentina presented their workpackages in order to create a collective proposal to develop a Pan-Program Intregration Project (PPIP) and policy translation activities within the Argentine context. A draft PPIP document was gathered from the workshop aiming to: - Aim 1 Combine expertise and data from all five project teams to provide consistency to (i) the co-design of policy with agricultural livestock sectors (ii) the measurement of antimicriobial use (AMU) and resistance (AMR), and (iii) knowledge exchange messages across all the livestock species and production systems encompassed by the program. - Aim 2 "A whole that is greater than the sum of its parts" - to generate research outcomes at the level of the program that would not be possible for any one project alone through combining effort and new work in specifically defined areas. The aims will be addressed through four work packages. UoB through the FARMS-SAFE project leads Work Package 1 (WP1) - Harmonising antimicrobial use and data collection. |

Results and Impact | Collaborative Cultures explores the impact of a One Health approach. Working, learning and sharing best-practice across disciplines. In September 2019 ACTAsia launched its Institute of Caring for Life Academic Research & Education (iCARE) at Oxford University, at a meeting called 'Health & Well-being: Science and Humanity are One'. As a follow-up to this event and to discuss the progress made, we are holding a webinar on One Health Day, 3 Nov 2020. Fast-forward to this webinar, we will celebrate a One Health interdisciplinary approach to the challenges faced for humans, animals and the environment. The discussions are especially poignant in 2020 as many academics and professionals are shifting their thinking to incorporate all three areas into their research and solutions to ensure maximum impact. The Webinar will close with a Charter for Collaborative Cultures being drawn up for iCARE projects. Speakers: Dr. Laura Kahn, Professor Terence Ryan, Professor Adam Hart, Dr. Kristen Rehyer, Sarah Gould and Dr Helen Winter. |
