  • Note that "FoodNet" can trace its origins to the evangelism of Joshua Lederberg ... "For CDC, the impact of the IOM report and Dr Lederberg’s contributions were substantial. CDC worked with partners to develop new domestic and global strategies to address emerging infections, including specific efforts to respond to the IOM recommendations. Dr Lederberg served as an advisor on the development of these strategies (Figure 2), the first of which was published in 1994 (6), with an update 4 years later (7). From 1994 through 2004, CDC’s funding for infectious diseases grew nearly 200-fold, from $1 million to >$190 million, enabling development and implementation of numerous programs to build epidemiology and laboratory capacity and improve preparedness and response capacity for infectious diseases and other health threats. Examples of these programs include the Emerging Infections Programs with activities such as FoodNet and Active Bacterial Core surveillance; the International Emerging Infections Programs; the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases cooperative agreement; the Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratory Fellowship Program; this journal; and the International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases, first held in 1998 with Dr Lederberg serving as the inaugural plenary speaker (2) and, most recently, in March 2008."

Hosted by Kai Ryssdal

Tess Vigeland: The medical community has been warning for years that we all take too many antibiotics. Because, the more we throw at these bugs we’re trying to kill, he more quickly they evolve to beat those drugs.

Now, the battle against so-called “antibiotic resistance” is going down on the farm. Today, the Food and Drug Administration issued new guidelines designed to reduce the antibiotics fed to cows, pigs and chickens.

Marketplace’s Jeff Horwich reports.


Jeff Horwich: Before we eat the vast majority of animals in this country, they’ve been eating antibiotics.

Jeff Bender directs the Center for Animal Health and Food Safety at the University of Minnesota.

Jeff Bender: We know that if we feed at these really low levels, somehow these animals don’t get disease and they grow faster.

2015 (Mar 4) - CBS Local News (Minnesota) - "Good Question: What's Wrong With Antibiotics In Our Food?"

https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/good-question-whats-wrong-with-antibiotics-in-our-food/ 

MARCH 4, 2015 / 10:30 PM CST / CBS MINNESOTA

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) - McDonald's announced Wednesday that it will phase out its practice of using chickens raised with human antibiotics over the next two years.

It follows a long list of companies, including Chipotle, Panera Bread, Tyson and Perdue, that have voluntarily reduced or gotten rid of antibiotics given to the farm animals that end up on our plates.

So, what's the problem with antibiotics when it comes to our food? Good Question.

"One of the big debates we've been having is the use of antibiotics for growth promotion, which is being phased out," said University of Minnesota Veterinary Public Health professor Jeff Bender.

Since the FDA approved the use of human and animal antibiotics for farm animals in the 1950s, they've been used for two major reasons. One is to treat diseases and prevent infections in the animals and another is to promote growth and make the animals fatter.

Bender says before even getting into the details of the debate, it's important to point out that the meat that makes it to our tables is antibiotic-free.

"We have strict policies making sure that the animals who receive the antibiotics are put aside for a while until those antibiotics are removed from their systems," he said.

Even so, companies have cut back, and even ended, their use of antibiotics in farm animals. In 2013, the FDA implemented a voluntary plan with the food producers and associations that would phase out the use of certain antibiotics solely to promote growth.

At the time, William Flynn, deputy director for science policy at the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine said, "We need to be selective about the drugs we use in animals and when we use them."

Bender said he believes consumer pressure is one reason for the phasing out of the use of human antibiotics.

"The consumer is thinking about antibiotics and aware of antibiotics and says, 'Can we have food that doesn't have antibiotics?'" he said.

But, experts say it's not necessarily the antibiotics causing the problem, but the continued overuse of human antibiotics in both humans and animals.

"Anytime we use antibiotics, there is a chance for antibiotics resistance to develop," Bender said. "We don't really want to use a lot of antibiotics. We want to be selective. We want to be good stewards of the antibiotics that we have, and that's really the bottom line."

McDonald's has said it will continue to use a type of animal antibiotic called ionophores to keep its chickens healthy.

Support the College 

Entitled, “Antimicrobial Stewardship and One Health,” the 2018 Coppoc One Health Lecture by Dr. Jeff Bender, a veterinarian and public health practitioner with over 20 years of experience, drew a capacity crowd in Lynn 1136 Thursday, November 1.  Dr. Bender is a professor in the Division of Environmental Health Sciences at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health and director of the USAID One Health Workforce Project.

The topic of the lecture is something that Dr. Bender is passionate about and now is dealing with on a broad scale, as he serves as the One Health Workforce Project director.  His visit to Lynn Hall came between trips to Africa and Asia.  Dr. Bender explained that a One Health workforce fosters a multi-sectoral approach to infectious disease prevention, detection and response and features collaborative engagement, technical competence and an enabling environment.

(Right-left) PVM Associate Dean for Research Harm HogenEsch with 2018 Coppoc One Health Lecture speaker Jeff Bender and Dr. Gordon Coppoc and his wife Harriet.

Dr. Bender’s expertise focuses on epidemiology, infection control and prevention, designing and evaluating surveillance programs, and development of educational outreach programs. He has researched zoonoses and emerging diseases, food safety, antimicrobial resistance, infectious disease surveillance, and infection prevention and control. His research is multidisciplinary, requiring collaborations with government, industry, and commodity organizations.

Dr. Bender concluded his talk by emphasizing the need to encourage good antimicrobial stewardship practices; understand the interrelationships between humans, animals and the environment; and encourage the One Health approach.  He added the veterinarian’s play a very important role.

The Coppoc lecture was recorded in its entirety. Click here to view the presentation.

This is the 5th year for the Coppoc One Health Lecture, which was established as an annual campus-wide lectureship focusing on the symbiotic relationship between veterinary and human medicine and its worldwide impact. The lecture is named in honor of Dr. Gordon Coppoc, Purdue professor emeritus of veterinary pharmacology, and his wife, Harriet. Dr. Coppoc is the former head of Purdue Veterinary Medicine’s Department of Basic Medical Sciences and served as director of the Indiana University School of Medicine-Lafayette and associate dean of the Indiana University School of Medicine before retiring in 2014.  Dr. Bender’s talk was followed by a reception in the Continuum Café.

Summary


The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the need to strengthen national surveillance systems to protect a globally connected world. In low-income and middle-income countries, zoonotic disease surveillance has advanced considerably in the past two decades. However, surveillance efforts often prioritise urban and adjacent rural communities. Communities in remote rural areas have had far less support despite having routine exposure to zoonotic diseases due to frequent contact with domestic and wild animals, and restricted access to health care. Limited disease surveillance in remote rural areas is a crucial gap in global health security. Although this point has been made in the past, practical solutions on how to implement surveillance efficiently in these resource-limited and logistically challenging settings have yet to be discussed. We highlight why investing in disease surveillance in remote rural areas of low-income and middle-income countries will benefit the global community and review current approaches. Using semi-arid regions in Kenya as a case study, we provide a practical approach by which surveillance in remote rural areas can be strengthened and integrated into existing systems. This Viewpoint represents a transition from simply highlighting the need for a more holistic approach to disease surveillance to a solid plan for how this outcome might be achieved.
