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.
Biofilm remains a significant public health-related issue in the food industry. The group behavior of pathogens results in resistant behaviors, including for commonly used disinfectants and antibiotics. Through the food supply chain, these pathogens can easily enter into the human and animal populations, making it imperative to understand the biofilm formation dynamics of these pathogens and how to prevent and control their formation.
A study that observed non-typhoidal Salmonella in Vietnamese retail pork found high levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), multi-drug resistance, and resistance to the antibiotic colistin.
The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) recently published a new modeling framework to quantify consumers’ risk of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) exposure from food products, using chicken and lettuce value chains as case studies.
A European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) fellowship explores whole genome sequencing (WGS) standardization in outbreak investigations, as well as the use of WGS in monitoring pathogen virulence and antimicrobial resistance.
A recent study has discovered high levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Escherichia coli in samples of raw chicken meat and chicken fecal matter.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently released the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System Integrated Summary for 2019, which is a review of data gathered on the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of several pathogens.
