In addition, there is a growing concern over the possibility of AMR transmission via the food chain. This chapter summarizes the information available in the literature on AMR in foodborne pathogenic bacteria and food-related beneficial microbes, with a special focus on the European situation, and ...
There is also clear scientific evidence that food can serve as a vehicle of food-borne exposure to antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. This includes, but is not limited to, foods from livestock and poultry, fish, and fruits and vegetables, that were produced either conventionally or organically. Whe...
为了协调和加强对抗生素耐药性威胁的公共卫生应对,2020年10月,美国政府发布了《2020-2025年全国抗击抗生素耐药细菌行动计划》(National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (CARB), 2020-2025)。该计划在2015年计划的基础上进行了扩展,扩大了已经证明能够降低抗生素耐药性的基于证据的活动,例如在人类...
False positives may result in the use of unnecessary last-resort treatments, whereas false negatives can result in persistent infections by allowing antibiotic-resistant bacteria to evade appropriate treatment. Additionally, a current limitation of these methods is the need for distinct models for each ...
AMR has ramifications for food production, jeopardizing sustainable agriculture and diminishing the livelihoods of farmers. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in underprivileged areas heightens the risk of complications and mortality. Climate change further contributes to AMR, as evidenced by incre...
Monitoring AMR in the commensal E. coli collected from the intestinal flora of healthy food-producing animals and derived food products provides information on the reservoirs of resistant bacteria and resistance determinants in healthy animal populations. Commensal E. coli is often used as an indicator...
In a recent announcement, Pfizer, Inc. shared that the European Medicines Agency Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended… Read More Molecular New antibiotic fights antimicrobial resistant bacteria Recent work published in Nature has introduced Zosurabalpin, a new an...
hand hygiene, delay in administrating mandatory vaccinations and not caring for open wounds could lead to transmission and mutation of bacteria. Environmental factors also contribute to the rise, especially as they cause the spread of microbes from animals to humans through contaminated water or food....
Globalisation of food exacerbates the issue as everyone is susceptible to the risks of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, which knows no geographical boundaries. In the absence of antibiotics, these bacteria can cause infection and humans die easily without treatment. Even with antibiotics, the rise ...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microbes (e.g. bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites) evolve in ways that reduce or eliminate the effectiveness of antimicrobial medicines (e.g. antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals and antiparasitics) to treat infections by killing or slowing microbial ...
