Implications of Their Use Outside Clinical Cettings and Request for Action Rodríguez Sánchez, César oxitetraciclina gentamicina resistencia antimicrobiana agricultura oxytetracycline gentamicin antimicrobial-resistance plant agriculture This mini-review deals with oxytetracycline and gentamicin: two clinically-relevant antimicrobials that find extensive usage in horticulture and other productive activities. The manuscript begins with a few words on their mechanism of action and clinical utility. Thereafter I address the most important mechanisms of acquired or intrinsic resistance described to date and some implications of the unrestricted use of these drugs outside clinical settings. A number of reports on the occurrence of antimicrobial-resistance genes and antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in agroecosystems illustrates that a threat exists and justifies the plea for monitoring programs and environmental risk assessments with which the article concludes.

Seguidamente, el autor aborda los principales mecanismos de resistencia adquirida que han sido descritos hasta la fecha y algunas implicaciones de su mal uso y abuso en escenarios no hospitalarios. En este sentido, sepresentan reportes de la ocurrencia de bacterias resistentes y genes de resistencia que demuestran la existencia de un riesgo y que justifican la instauración de programas de monitoreo y de impacto ambiental.
