Abstract:

The addition of antibiotics to animal feed has reduced the occurrence of animal diseases in livestock and poultry production and promoted growth. However, it also leads to a series of problem including antibiotic residues in animal-derived products and the environment, an increase in multi-drug resistant bacteria in animals, etc. And also has a serious impact on food safety and the development of animal husbandry, which threatening human health and the ecological environment. Against the backdrop of the national policy of "banning antibiotics in feed and reducing their use in breeding", the use of alternative products that can enhance the disease resistance of animals has become a research hotspot. Among them, traditional Chinese medicine has received widespread attention due to its wide sources, few side effects, and low likelihood of developing drug resistance. When used alone or in combination with antibacterial drugs, it shows good antibacterial effects. This article discusses the current situation of antibiotic resistance in animal-derived bacteria in China and reviews traditional Chinese medicines that can reduce antibiotic resistance in animal-derived bacteria and their mechanisms of action, with the aim of providing a scientific basis for in-depth research and control of antibiotic resistance in animal-derived bacteria.

Key words: animal-derived bacteria, antimicrobial resistance, traditional Chinese medicine, elimination
