A recent study has provided insight into the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus on the hands of foodservice employees, as well as the pathogenicity and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of S. aureus isolates.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has published a scientific opinion on mitigation strategies for the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)—a global food safety and public health threat—among food-producing animals during transport.
A recent report has demonstrated that there is little oversight of antibiotics in meat and poultry sold at U.S. grocery stores, raising food safety concerns regarding antimicrobial resistance.
The UK Animal and Plant Health Agency has reported on certain developments that took place in 2021 that impact food safety regarding whole genome sequencing (WGS) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
At the Global Conference on Foodborne Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) stressed the need for a “One Health” approach to addressing AMR in food, introduced the AMR Codex Texts project, and highlighted FAO and Codex Alimentarius resources for mitigating foodborne AMR.
A study conducted by the UK Food Standards Agency has reported a noticeable increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Campylobacter from chicken meat to certain antibiotics over the last two decades; however, there has not been a significant increase since 2014.
The UK Animal and Plant Health Agency has published a report that provides an overview of incidences of Salmonella and the pathogen’s overall level of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) throughout the UK in 2021.
The LmRNA project will explore the genetic and physiological responses of Listeria monocytogenes biofilms to dairy environment conditions to support the development of improved strategies for preventing antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
A recent study suggests that S. Kentucky isolates with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes may originate from food consumed or imported from outside of the U.S.
The UK conducts annual surveillance of Escherichia coli with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) on retail meats. The 2021 data shows the prevalence of AMR E. coli has remained low and consistent in retail beef and pork since 2015.
