Abstract
The antibiotic use and levels of antibiotic resistance found in animal
populations in South Africa are reviewed: firstly, the framework for
antibiotic management in livestock production; secondly, patterns of
consumption by sector and application; and thirdly, what is known
about bacterial resistance rates. The bacteria discussed are pathogenic
to animals, zoonotic organisms and commensal bacteria.
