Using metagenomic sequencing and qPCR, the study analyzed bacteria from produce, chicken meat, and RTE deli meats sold at retail stores in Tennessee. A high abundance and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes were identified, potentially contributing to the persistence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the food supply.
A national study led by the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) found concerning increases in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among poultry-associated Campylobacter isolates. Source attribution modeling predicted that chicken meat is by far the most dominant source of human campylobacteriosis cases.
According to the researchers, the findings indicate that Salmonella persistence in food processing environments should not be attributed solely to disinfectant resistance. Proper implementation of cleaning and sanitization protocols alongside stringent hygiene practices remains critical.
Researchers found that the presence of nanoplastic particles can increase the expression of virulence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes in Salmonella,and can also encourage biofilm formation.
In an analysis of domestic refrigerator swabs, researchers discovered complex microbial communities harboring foodborne pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The findings also suggested that regular cleaning is possibly more important than temperature control in managing these communities.
A high proportion of Campylobacter and Salmonella from food-producing animals across Europe are resistant to antimicrobials that are important to human medicine. Escherichia coli resistance to last-resort carbapenems is growing.
The moringa powder capsules are sold under the Rosabella brand name and are distributed by Ambrosia Brands LLC. The outbreak strain is resistant to all first-line and alternative antibiotics commonly recommended for salmonellosis treatment.
A new review by FAO researchers identifies how food loss and waste (FLW) can disseminate antibiotic resistance (AMR), as well as practices that can either mitigate or exacerbate AMR dissemination from FLW.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has published the findings of a national survey of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in foodborne bacteria on raw beef, chicken, and pork meat at retail.
An analysis of a decade of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance data in foodborne pathogens (i.e., Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Escherichia coli) has identified patterns shaping multidrug resistance (MDR) in food animal production systems.
