Antimicrobial Resistance in Veterinary Medicine 205
Regression to the Mean, Antibiotic Efficacy and Equine Upper Respiratory Infections

0.0

  • Discuss how when a disease measure is under homeostatic control, animals presented for treatment when clinical signs are near their worst will expectedly improve in subsequent time periods
  • Outline how the rates of disease in a population can also be subject to regression to the mean
  • Comprehend that regression to the mean would be unlikely to occur following a randomly selected time point
  • Explain that regression to themean would not be expecrted to occur when a disease has not yet reached a homeostatic "steady state" in either an individual or population
  • Explain the equine veterinarian’s role regarding the appropriate use of both prescription and over-the-counter antimicrobial agents
  • Describe the consequences of inappropriate use of antimicrobial agents in horses
  • Recognize clinical presentations in equine medicine where antimicrobial treatment is likely to be ineffective, and where alternatives to antimicrobial treatment should be employed
  • Discuss how an animal whose medical condition improves after treatment with an antimicrobial agent was not necessarily cured by that agent
