SAPUVET philosophy:A contribution towards advancement of
education in Veterinary Public Health (VPH)
Through mutual cooperation between the European Union and Latin America
SAPUVET and SAPUVETNET III (n. DCI-LA/2008/75) are a series of projects, co-financed under the EU ALFA programme for the last 8 years, aimed to support an Veterinary Public Health (VPH) educational network.Latin-American and European
Veterinary schools and some international organizations are contributing to the success of the project
RESULTS OF THE PROJECT Proposal of a common VPH curriculum,
Design of teaching material such as videos, case studies and a manual on VPH, Organization of some e-conferences
Design and publication of the “One Health” journalElaboration of a free domaine web site: http://www.sapuvetnet.org
KNOWLEDGE OF THE USE OF ANTIMICROBIALS AND THEIR ASSOCIATED RESISTANCE HAS BEEN AN IMPORTANT OBJECTIVE AND A CONCERN THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT
Development of the chapter “Bacterial resistance; control strategies,
good practices and prudent use of antimicrobials”

Comments and discussions about resistant microorganisms took
place into the group
LOCAL PRACTICES IN ANIMAL PRODUCTION AND HEALTH, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE USE OF MEDICATIONS AND RESISTANCE TO ANTMICROBIALS: CONSEQUENCES
IN PUBLIC HEALTH PRUDENT USE OF ANTIMICROBIALS
IN ANIMALS: SOLUTION OR UTOPIA?
The opinions expressed by the group are not necessarily the opinions of the EU or those of the Alfa program
A series of case studies regarding health problems linked to the use of antimicrobials have been included
in the learning materials
Multiresistant Salmonella enterica Thyphimurium in human and animal populations
Multiresistance to antibiotics of porcine origin Relapsed multirresistant infection in a Golden dog
Residum of antimicrobial substances in bovine mest and viscera
All professionals agree that veterinarians should work
towards sanitary planning and in preventive medicine
to avoid the use of antimicrobials
Some opinions defend that the
use of certain specific antimicrobials as additives
makes sense in some circumstances, as long as it is done
with serious and strict control There are differences in the use of antimicrobials in various countries, particularly considering the different approaches towards animal health
management and hygiene.
Regulation of the use of antimicrobials from the legal standpoint and surveillance
programs are necessary.
Ethics of health workers are the key to solving the problem.
There is concern regarding the inappropriate use of other chemical products and their relationship with antimicrobial resistance.
The group agrees with the most correct use of the term “antimicrobials” to describe any substance that kills microorganisms, including natural compounds, produced
or not by microorganisms and synthetic antimicrobial compounds, instead of the more restricted term, “antibiotic”
