The Association of Primate Veterinarians (APV) recognizes that antimicrobials are commonly prescribed for prophylactic, therapeutic, and experimental management of nonhuman primates (NHP). While clinicians should use antimicrobials to treat documented cases of illness, the decision to prescribe antimicrobials must take into account the increasing resistance of bacterial populations, leading to decreasing efficacy of critical pharmaceuticals in both human and veterinary medicine. The intent of this document is to provide guidance to veterinarians, research staff, and institutional animal care and use committees (IACUCs) on the use of antimicrobials in NHP.
灵长类动物兽医协会 (APV) 认识到,抗生素通常用于预防、治疗和实验性管理非人类灵长类动物 (NHP)。虽然临床医生应该使用抗生素来治疗有记录的疾病病例,但开具抗生素的决定必须考虑到细菌种群的抗药性不断增强,这导致人类和兽医医学中关键药物的疗效降低。本文件的目的是为兽医、研究人员和机构动物护理和使用委员会 (IACUC) 提供在 NHP 中使用抗生素的指导。
