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...
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 ...
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...
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....
Explore the Food Safety Research Information Office at NAL Learn About Research Combating Antimicrobial Resistance! Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a national concern among commodities sourced by animals, such as meat and/or poultry products that are exposed to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Research ...
Work of French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur and German physician and microbiologist Robert Koch advanced knowledge on bacteria, the specific causes of deadly infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, cholera, and anthrax, as well as pasteurization – the elimination of pathogens from foo...
When it comes to food, antibiotics areusedto ward off diseases, treat infections or prevent spread of illnesses in farm animals and aquaculture. Infected animals often pose a huge risk to an entire farm as bacteria spreads rapidly among large population of animals. ...
Antimicrobial agents are used regularly in many agricultural systems worldwide to improve the health, welfare and productivity of livestock1,2. This has led to concerns about the anthropogenic selection of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in livestock systems2,3,4, particularly due to the potential tra...
