<abstract>
<p>Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to human, animal health, and environment worldwide. For human, transmission occurred through a variety of routes both in health-care settings and community. In animals, AMR was reported in livestock, pets, and wildlife; transmission of AMR can be zoonotic with the probably most important route being foodborne transmission. The Indian Ocean Commission (IOC), composed of Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion (France), and Seychelles recognized the surveillance of AMR in both animal and human as a main public health priority for the region. Mayotte, French overseas territory, located in Comoros archipelago, was also included in this review. This review summarized our best epidemiological knowledge regarding AMR in Indian Ocean. We documented the prevalence, and phenotypic and genotypic profiles of prone to resistance Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria both in animals and humans. Our review clearly pointed out extended-spectrum &#x003B2;-lactamase and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae as main human and animal health issue in IOC. However, publications on AMR are scarce, particularly in Comoros, Mayotte, and Seychelles. Thus, research and surveillance priorities were recommended (i) estimating the volume of antimicrobial drugs used in livestock and human medicine in the different territories [mainly third generation cephalosporin (3GC)]; (ii) developing a &#x0201C;One Health&#x0201D; surveillance approach with epidemiological indicators as zoonotic foodborne pathogen (i.e., couple <italic>Escherichia coli</italic> resistance to 3GC/carbapenems); (iii) screening travelers with a history of hospitalization and consumption of antibiotic drug returning from at risk areas (e.g., mcr-1 transmission with China or hajj pilgrims) allowing an early warning detection of the emergence for quick control measures implementation in IOC.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p>Increasing global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to human and animal endangering decades of improvements in health-care outcomes. It endangers modern human and veterinary medicine and undermines food safety (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>).</p>
<p>In humans, the global burden of AMR is longer duration of illness, higher lethality, increasing costs of treatment, and inability to cure infected patient (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>). In animals, antibiotic drugs use in terrestrial and aquatic animals maintains food safety, animal welfare, and protect livelihoods (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref>).</p>
<p>Transmission of AMR to human can be zoonotic taking place through a variety of routes where the foodborne route is probably the most important (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>). Direct transmission also occurs for specific bacteria species [e.g., methicillin-resistant <italic>Staphylococcus aureus</italic> (MRSA)].</p>
<p>The Indian Ocean Commission (IOC) is composed of five countries: Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion (France), and Seychelles. Mayotte, French overseas territory located in Comoros archipelago, was also included in the study. In 2015, the IOC identified AMR surveillance in both animal and human as a main priority for territories (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>). However, AMR burden is not well evaluated but epidemiological trends in IOC should be identified.</p>
<p>Our systematic review objective was summarizing epidemiological knowledge and trends of AMR in prone-to-multidrug resistance bacteria species (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>), and fecal&#x02013;oral and foodborne bacteria in human and animals in IOC. We documented the prevalence, and phenotypic and genotypic profiles of resistance of the selected bacteria in (i) Gram-positive and (ii) Gram-negative bacteria.</p>

<title>Materials and Methods</title>
<p>The study performed from January to March 2017 included articles and conference abstracts published from 1990 to December 2016. Bacteria species included in the different searches were those prone to develop multidrug resistance as defined by Magiorakos et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>) (i.e., <italic>S. aureus, Enterococcus</italic> spp., <italic>Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter</italic> spp., and the genus Enterobacteriaceae), and fecal&#x02013;oral and foodborne bacterial species (<italic>Salmonella</italic> spp., <italic>Campylobacter</italic> spp., and <italic>Shigella</italic> spp.). We used available articles obtained through match searches using Google Scholar,<xref ref-type="fn" rid="fn1"><sup>1</sup></xref> PubMed,<xref ref-type="fn" rid="fn2"><sup>2</sup></xref> and Web of Knowledge.<xref ref-type="fn" rid="fn3"><sup>3</sup></xref> Relevant information was obtained for phenotypic and genotypic profiles of resistance in selected bacteria using its name combined with related terms (resistance, antimicrobial, antibiotic, Comoros, Seychelles, Reunion Island, Madagascar, Mayotte, Indian Ocean, epidemiology). Included publications were those documenting the prevalence, and phenotypic and genotypic profiles of resistances of selected bacteria; others were excluded.</p>

<title><italic>Staphylococcus</italic>&#x000A0;<italic>aureus</italic></title>
<p><italic>Staphylococcus aureus</italic> is one of the most common causes of nosocomial and community infections (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref>). Since 1960s, MRSA was isolated (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>) and became a major nosocomial pathogen (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref>).</p>
<p>In Madagascar, MRSA was increasing from 2001 to 2014 as observed in Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">1</xref> with rising rate of resistance to oxacillin and cefoxitin. MRSA nasal carriage in community was observed with a prevalence of 14.8% in 2011 (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>). Overall resistances were higher for widely available drugs (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>). Moreover, 9.0% of veterinary students were asymptomatic MRSA carriers (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>). Increasing rate of resistance to gentamicin (42.9%) and vancomycin (7.1%) was observed in MRSA isolates (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>). Nonetheless, vancomycin and tigecycline are the last drugs demonstrating therapeutic efficacy for MRSA and are compromised by the reduced susceptibility in <italic>S. aureus</italic> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>). Phenotypic resistance observed in Madagascar was of concern (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>), confirmation by an antimicrobial reference laboratory for genotyping should be considered.</p>

Since 1998, <italic>S. aureus</italic> susceptibility profile changed tending to be more resistant to aminoglycosides and quinolones (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref>).</p>
<p>In the other territories, literature remains absent and no publication was found regarding prevalence and antibiotic resistance profiles of <italic>S. aureus</italic> in humans, livestock, and pets.</p>
<p>Methicillin-resistant <italic>Staphylococcus aureus</italic> epidemiological trends should be better addressed in Comoros, Mayotte, Reunion, and Seychelles.

<title><italic>Enterococcus</italic> spp.</title>
<p><italic>Enterococcus</italic> spp. are opportunistic bacteria often involved in nosocomial infections, mainly urinary tract infections, endocarditis, wounds, and bacteremia (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>). Discovered by the end of the 1980s (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">21</xref>), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) represent a major problem in health-care settings worldwide.</p>
<p>In Madagascar, in 2006&#x02013;2008, rate of resistance to vancomycin in <italic>Enterococcus</italic> spp. was 3.3% and was high for lincomycin (90.0%) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>). In 2011&#x02013;2013, one <italic>E. faecalis</italic> resistant to vancomycin (5.6%) was isolated during an uropathogenic survey (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>).</p>
<p>In Mauritius, in May 2010 and July 2014, all <italic>Enterococcus</italic> spp. isolated in hospitalized patients were susceptible to vancomycin (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>).</p>
<p>In Reunion, Picot et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">22</xref>) did not detect any VRE in 2005. In other territories, no publication was found for both humans and animals.</p>
<p>Thus, epidemiological situation of VRE is not clear in IOC but does not seem being a main issue both in animals and humans. Identifying drug uses in livestock remains necessary as glycopeptide (e.g., avoparcin) use in livestock was correlated with VRE incidence in human populations (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">23</xref>).</p>

<title><italic>Pseudomonas</italic>&#x000A0;<italic>aeruginosa</italic></title>
<p><italic>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</italic> is an opportunistic pathogen causing nosocomial infections (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B24">24</xref>). Some strains have been found to be resistant to nearly all antibiotics (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">25</xref>).</p>
<p>In Madagascar, in 2006&#x02013;2008, <italic>P. aeruginosa</italic> isolates showed a moderate resistance to penicillin (piperacillin 12.8% and ticarcillin 31.9%) but were susceptible to ceftazidime and imipenem (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>).</p>
<p>In Mauritius, in May 2010, <italic>P. aeruginosa</italic> isolated in hospitalized patients showed high rate of resistance to antibiotic tested with 51.5% to aminoglycosides (52% gentamicin and 51% amikacin), 47% for ceftazidime, 73% for ciprofloxacin, and 40% for meropenem (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref>). In July 2014, a similar survey pointed a decrease of all resistance tested (42% for gentamicin, 29% for amikacin, 30% for ceftazidime, 47% for ciprofloxacin, and 27% for meropenem) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>).</p>
<p>In Reunion, rates of resistance to imipenem increased from 1997 to 2005 (5.9&#x02013;6.1%) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">22</xref>). Outbreaks of <italic>P. aeruginosa</italic> were reported in a neonatal care unit (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">26</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27">27</xref>), but susceptibility testing of strain was not performed. In Reunion, between 2010 and 2012, OXA-221 was identified in <italic>P. aeruginosa</italic> associated with &#x003B2;-lactamases and carbapenemase production (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B28">28</xref>). The extended-spectrum &#x003B2;-lactamase OXA-145 was described in 2011 in <italic>P. aeruginosa</italic> and conferred resistance to third generation cephalosporin (3GC) and monolactams (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">29</xref>).</p>
<p>Trends regarding <italic>P. aeruginosa</italic> in IOC are not clear, but acquisition of new gene of resistance to &#x003B2;-lactams is of concern. Rate of resistance to carbapenems identified in Mauritius are high even if decreasing. Identifying its burden in nosocomial infection is needed as well as aminoglycoside resistance. Recommended treatment for pseudomonas infection usually includes &#x003B2;-lactams and aminoglycosides.</p>

<title><italic>Acinetobacter</italic> spp.</title>
<p><italic>Acinetobacter baumannii</italic> is a troublesome pathogen for health-care institutions, and its ability to acquire resistance determinants is making it threatening the current antibiotic era (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">30</xref>).</p>
<p>In Madagascar, in 2006&#x02013;2008, a prevalence of <italic>A. baumannii</italic> of 8.8% was identified in infections diagnosed at hospital, the resistance to ceftazidime (62.0%) and imipenem was high (45.7%) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>). Among strains collected between 2006 and 2009, 92.5% were resistant to imipenem and 94.3% to ceftazidime (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B31">31</xref>). No resistance to carbapenems was reported among ten uropathogenic isolates in community (2011&#x02013;2013) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>), but this restricted sample could not reflect the epidemiological situation. The dissemination of multidrug-resistant OXA-23-producing <italic>A. baumannii</italic> in hospitals of Antananarivo (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B31">31</xref>) could emphasize issues regarding failures of infection control in hospitals (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>).</p>
<p>In Mauritius, in May 2010, <italic>Acinetobacter</italic> spp. isolated in hospitalized patients showed high rate of resistance to antibiotic tested with 86% for gentamicin and 50% for amikacin (both aminoglycosides), 95% for cefotaxime, 85% for ciprofloxacin, and 68% for meropenem (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref>). In July 2014, a similar survey pointed a decreasing rate of resistance for gentamicin, cefotaxime, and ciprofloxacin (respectively 79, 94, and 82%) and increasing for amikacin (58%) and meropenem (74%) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>).</p>
<p>In Reunion, from 1997 to 2005, <italic>A. baumannii</italic> rate of resistance decreased to all antibiotic tested [e.g., ceftazidime (74.3&#x02013;68.1%), imipenem (12.9&#x02013;8.3%), and ciprofloxacin (72.9&#x02013;59.7%)] (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">22</xref>). In 2006, an outbreak of multiresistant <italic>A. baumannii</italic> phenotype 5 occurred at the hospital, strains were resistant to all &#x003B2;-lactams (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">32</xref>). A wide variety of <italic>A. baumannii</italic> sequence types was identified at the hospital and could be related to community-acquired infections; one isolate carrying the <inline-formula><mml:math id="M1"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>b</mml:mi><mml:mi>l</mml:mi><mml:msub><mml:mi>a</mml:mi><mml:mrow><mml:msup><mml:mrow><mml:mtext>OXA-23</mml:mtext></mml:mrow><mml:mo>&#x02212;</mml:mo></mml:msup></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula> gene was identified (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">33</xref>).</p>

<p>Pets can be reservoir of <italic>A. baumannii</italic> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B35">35</xref>). In Reunion, the prevalence in pets was 8.5% but no isolates were resistant to carbapenems (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">33</xref>). In cattle, the first case of OXA-24<sup>&#x02212;</sup> producing <italic>A. baumannii</italic> was recently identified (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">36</xref>).</p>
<p>Resistance to carbapenems in <italic>A. baumannii</italic> was observed in Comoros, Madagascar, Reunion, and Mauritius. It is of concern for IOC as <italic>A. baumannii</italic> have an affinity with vulnerable patients (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B37">37</xref>).

<p>In Mauritius, in 2005, rate of resistance to 3GC in Enterobacteriaceae from urine of patients with presumed community-acquired infection was about 9.0% for cefotaxime and 14.7% for cefixime (Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">2</xref>). Isolates also showed high rates of resistance to fluoroquinolones (26.4% to ciprofloxacin) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B48">48</xref>). Between 2010 and 2014, an increase of resistance in Enterobacteriaceae isolated in hospitalized patients was observed (46.7&#x02013;50.7% for cefotaxime and 39.2&#x02013;56.1% for ciprofloxacin) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>).</p>
<p>In Reunion, prevalence of ESBLE was increasing at hospital with 2.0% in 1997 and 5.8% in 2007 (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">32</xref>). Broad spectrum antibiotics use in hospitals was likely correlated with this evolution (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">32</xref>). In 2013, main ESBLE involved in infections were <italic>Klebsiella pneumoniae</italic> (38.0%), <italic>Escherichia coli</italic> (37.0%), and <italic>Enterobacter cloacae</italic> (24.0%) with 75.0% of the CTX-M-15 type (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">50</xref>).</p>
<p>A prevalence of 14.5% ESBLE was estimated among dogs and cats from veterinary clinics of Reunion Island (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B51">51</xref>).</p>
<p>In livestock from Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, and Mayotte, overall 22.7% of livestock sampled were ESBLE carriers. The highest prevalence was observed among pigs (42.0%) and poultry (26%); main contaminated farms were located in Madagascar (40.5%), Mayotte (26.9%) followed by Mauritius (13.5%) and Comoros (6.7%) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B52">52</xref>).</p>
<p>No publication was found for Seychelles, but prevalence of ESBLE (mainly represented by <italic>E. coli, K. pneumoniae</italic>, and <italic>E. cloacae</italic>) in IOC seems increasing both in humans and animals. Broad spectrum antibiotics overuse is likely correlated with this evolution (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">32</xref>).</p>

<title>Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE)</title>
<p>In Madagascar, first CPE was reported in a community survey of uropathogens implemented in 2011&#x02013;2013 (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>). Imipenem rate of resistance was 40.0% for <italic>K. pneumoniae</italic>, 15.0% for <italic>E. cloacae</italic>, and 2.3% for <italic>E. coli</italic> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>). The reduced sample size for this study could not reflect global resistances patterns.</p>
<p>In Mauritius, rate of resistance to meropenem in Enterobacteriaceae increased from 0.51% in 2010 to 5.32% in 2014 among hospitalized patients (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>).</p>
<p>In Reunion, in 2007, resistance to imipenem in Enterobactericeae was low (1 to 2 cases by year) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref>).</p>
<p>First detection of New Delhi metallo-&#x003B2;-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) gene in <italic>K. pneumoniae</italic> in IOC occurred in a Mauritius patient in 2009 (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B53">53</xref>), in 2011 in Reunion (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B54">54</xref>), and in 2013&#x02013;2014 in Madagascar (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B43">43</xref>).</p>
<p>In Mayotte, an outbreak of CPE involving <italic>E. cloacae</italic> of IMI-1 type occurred at the hospital (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B55">55</xref>). First investigations tend to highlight a community source of contamination but further investigations should confirm it (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B55">55</xref>).</p>
<p>In animal, no publication was found regarding CPE.</p>
<p>Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae are endangering the ability to cure infectious diseases. NDM-1 fast propagation in IOC is pointing the need of AMR surveillance and alert system. Mauritius seems particularly affected by CPE; their spread could constitute an issue for other territories as few therapeutic alternatives are available to treat infected patients.</p>

<title><italic>Non-Typhoidal Salmonella</italic> spp.</title>
<p>Salmonella is a major foodborne pathogen found worldwide. Most human salmonellosis is associated with eating contaminated raw or undercooked chicken, eggs, pork, and contaminated water.</p>
<p>In Madagascar, in 2008&#x02013;2009, <italic>Salmonella</italic> spp. rate of resistance in community children was low for 3GC (1.2% for ceftazidime and cefotaxime), absent for quinolones, and moderated for ampicillin (35.7%) and ticarcillin (35.7%) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B49">49</xref>).</p>
<p>In Mauritius, in 2009, <italic>Salmonella enterica</italic> serovar Enteritidis was isolated in humans without resistance identified for all antibiotic tested; transmission by chicken consumption was suspected (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B56">56</xref>). In 2014, <italic>Salmonella</italic> spp. isolated in stools of patients with gastroenteritis were all sensitive to ampicillin and ciprofloxacin and presented low resistance to trimethoprim&#x02013;sulfamethoxazole (2%) and nalidixic acid (1%) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">57</xref>).</p>
<p>In Reunion, between 2007 and 2009, rates of resistance among <italic>Salmonella</italic> spp. isolated in broiler chicken flocks were of 38.3% to streptomycin, 31.8% to tetracycline, and 16.8% to ampicillin (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B58">58</xref>), but no resistance to 3GC was identified. <italic>S.

<p>In Comoros, no resistance in <italic>Salmonella</italic> spp. was identified between 1987 and 1988 (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B59">59</xref>).</p>
<p>Publications regarding AMR among <italic>Salmonella</italic> spp. are scarce in IOC. Resistances to quinolones in <italic>Salmonella</italic> spp. seems appearing in Reunion, probably do to its overuse, but not in Mauritius.</p>

<title><italic>Campylobacter</italic> spp.</title>
<p><italic>Campylobacter</italic> spp. can cause both gastroenteritis and extra-intestinal disease. <italic>C. jejuni</italic> and <italic>C. coli</italic> are the most often isolated from patients with diarrhea as confirmed in Madagascar in 2010&#x02013;2012 (70.1 and 23.6%, respectively) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B60">60</xref>).

<p>In Mauritius, in 2014, <italic>Campylobacter</italic> spp. isolated in gastroenteritis cases presented high resistance to quinolones with 51% of resistance to ciprofloxacin and 4% to erythromycin (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">57</xref>). High quinolone resistance in <italic>Campylobacter</italic> spp. is probably due to antibiotic overuse in veterinary medicine (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">57</xref>).</p>
<p>Publications regarding AMR among <italic>Campylobacter</italic> spp. are scarce in IOC particularly in animals. Resistance to quinolones in Mauritius could be due to its overuse in poultry industry (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">57</xref>).</p>

<title>Perspectives</title>
<p>One main challenge regarding this review was the data collection and comparison of AMR patterns between territories in the diversity of study designs (diagnosis isolates vs. systematic detection), antibiogram panels, over different periods of time and targeting various bacteria species. Thus, results should be interpreted with caution but this attempt of review was not performed before and confirmed that AMR is threatening IOC. Main issue identified for IOC was ESBL and CPE which is in agreement with their increase worldwide over the past decade (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B65">65</xref>).</p>
<p>Literature was limited in Comoros, Mayotte, and Seychelles confirming needs to develop AMR surveillance and research in these territories and scarce for bacterial species: <italic>Enterococcus</italic> spp., <italic>P. aeruginosa, Salmonella</italic> spp., <italic>Campylobacter</italic> spp., and <italic>Shigella</italic> spp.</p>
<p>In IOC, the SEGA&#x02013;One Health network was created in 2009 with the objective of monitoring outbreak-prone infections (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B66">66</xref>). It aims to develop a surveillance of AMR in human and animals but disparity of resources between territories and between animal and human health could be a brake in the establishment of such a system.</p>
<p>Thus, priorities should be established:
<list list-type="simple">
<list-item><label>(i)</label> <p>A direct relationship between antibiotic consumption, emergence, and dissemination of AMR was demonstrated (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B67">67</xref>). Estimating the volume of antimicrobial drugs used, types, and access (e.g., over-the-counter) is an essential step for IOC. The overuse of 3GC could have driven to selection pressures on bacterial community in both animals and humans observed (i.e., ESBLE and CPE in hospitals with carbapenems use). Drugs monitoring could help predicting risks of emergence in territories (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B68">68</xref>). Research on drug uses and habits in community, by practitioners, and in livestock should be explored to adapt control measures.</p></list-item>
<list-item><label>(ii)</label> <p>Integrated AMR One Health approach including human, animal, and environment in both surveillance and research is clearly needed (e.g., MRSA in veterinarians, <italic>A. baumannii</italic> in pets, humans, and livestock, and ESBLE in livestock and humans). Using standardized indicators (antibiotic drugs&#x02013;bacteria species couple) for surveillance of AMR patterns across health-care settings, countries, and host species is essential. One relevant epidemiological indicator, for both animal and human, could be <italic>E. coli</italic> AMR, particularly 3GC and carbapenems. Surveillance should be accompanied by further investigations regarding genetic support of resistance between hosts for source of contamination and dynamics of propagation between reservoirs identification (human, animal, and environment).</p></list-item>
<list-item><label>(iii)</label> <p>Spread of NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae in IOC confirms needs for strengthening the early warning surveillance system of AMR emergences. The region is connected to hotspots of AMR as Asia (12.0% of traffic) characterized by high AMR prevalence in community [e.g., ESBL in China (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B69">69</xref>), important antibiotic consumption (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B70">70</xref>), and emergence of new AMR profiles (e.g., NDM-1, mcr-1) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B71">71</xref>)]. Screening of travelers, returning from at risk AMR areas, with a history of hospitalization and consumption of antibiotic drugs abroad has been recently proposed (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B72">72</xref>) and could be relevant for an early emergence detection. However, screening is costly, thus, initiating reflection regarding pooling laboratory resources is essential.</p></list-item>
</list></p>
<p>Our article is the first attempt summarizing knowledge regarding AMR in both animal and human health sectors in IOC. This review clearly points out research and surveillance gaps and constitutes a tool for future activities to lead.</p>
