PURIBIOTIC Operational Group: Characterization of the antibiotic resistance profile in the microbiota of slurry for environmental protection
- Type Operational group
- Status In progress
- Execution 2024 -2027
- Assigned Budget 88.160,00 €
- Scope Autonómico
- Autonomous community Aragón
In recent decades, a problem of increasing and worrying magnitude has emerged: antibiotic resistance, which, due to the interaction between the animal and human worlds and ecosystems, has become a global public health and environmental issue.
To address this problem, the group proposes studying the microbiota present in pig manure and its resistance profile. The ultimate goal is to implement sanitary control techniques that reduce the excretion of residues of this type of substance, adapt strategies for prudent antibiotic use in animal production, and improve manure management.
Thus, the project's objective is to study and characterize the digestive bacterial profile of pig farms and the role of slurry in the spread of antibiotic resistance as a result of its use as fertilizer on agricultural land, in order to implement slurry management techniques that promote environmental and public health protection.
