The food chain and antimicrobial resistance: trends, mechanisms, pathways, and potential regulation strategies
Author(s): Dilshaad Khan*
Since it has the potential to harm human health on a worldwide scale, Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) continues to be of great interest to many food stakeholders. Food contamination can occur at any point, from the field to the store, due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria and/or genes (transfer in pathogenic microorganisms). Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections are more common in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) than in developed nations, according to research. Foodborne infections are the main cause of illness and death worldwide. Pathogenic microorganisms can be transmitted directly or indirectly from food to consumers. Consequently, a variety of national and international strategies are required to prevent the spread of foodborne diseases and to advance food security and safety. Zoonotic microorganisms can spread through the food chain, the environment, and living things.. Read More»
