Antimicrobial resistance (AMR)
AMR develops when bacteria, fungi or viruses are exposed to antibiotics, antifungals or antivirals. As a result, the antimicrobials become ineffective and infections in animals and humans may persist. In addition, medical interventions including surgery, chemotherapy and stem cell therapy may become impossible.
AMR is considered the biggest global threat of Health and Food Safety.

09 October 2025Carbapenem-resistant Organisms in Companion Animals in New York City, 2019–2022
Carbapenem-resistant organisms (CRO) are a type of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that threaten human health. CRO can infect or colonize dogs and cats, with potential for zoonotic transmission to humans, but CRO prevalence in pet populations is not well-described. To characterize CRO prevalence among gram-negative cultured isolates from New York City (NYC) dogs and cats, we analyzed […]

08 October 2025Functional Nutritional Strategies as Alternatives to Antimicrobials
This comprehensive research collection highlights how functional nutritional strategies can serve as effective, sustainable alternatives to antibiotics in both livestock and companion animals. Within the One Health context of combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR), nineteen studies demonstrate how targeted dietary interventions—such as probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics, essential oils, plant-derived polyphenols, and natural bioactive compounds—can strengthen immunity, enhance […]

07 October 2025Antimicrobial resistance profiles and genomic insights of phenotypically extended spectrum β-lactamase-positive Klebsiella pneumoniae from cattle farms
A study in Punjab, India, investigated Klebsiella pneumoniae from 288 cattle farm samples and found it in 10.1% of cases. Among these isolates, 65.5% were multidrug-resistant (MDR) and 6.9% showed an ESBL-like phenotype. Detected resistance genes included β-lactam (blaTEM, blaAmpC, blaSHV), quinolone (qnrS), and tetracycline (tetA) genes. Whole-genome sequencing of two representative MDR/ESBL isolates revealed […]
