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.

30 August 2025Antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli at the human–pig interface: A One Health systematic review of genotypic and phenotypic evidence (2019–2024)
This systematic review analyzed whole-genome sequencing data of Escherichia coli from humans and pigs to map antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and related phenotypic resistance. Across 13 studies (2019–2024), ampicillin resistance was most common (75% in humans, 100% in pigs), with 80 ARGs identified across 11 antibiotic classes. Frequently reported genes included bla_TEM, sul1/sul2, dfrA17, tet(A/B), […]

27 August 2025Genomic evolution of Salmonella Dublin in cattle and humans in the United States
This large genomic study analyzed 2,150 Salmonella Dublin strains collected across the U.S. (2002–2023) from humans, cattle, and the environment. Bovine strains showed the greatest genetic diversity and the highest prevalence of antimicrobial resistance genes, especially multidrug resistance plasmids (IncA/C2). Despite differences across sources, 72% of strains were highly similar (≤20 SNPs apart), indicating frequent […]

22 August 2025Industry led AMR Stewardship in Animal Agriculture
India’s rapidly expanding animal agriculture sector is projected to make the country the world’s fourth-largest consumer of veterinary antibiotics by 2030, intensifying the need for AMR mitigation. AMR poses not only a public health risk but also a major economic threat, with the World Bank warning of up to 3.8% global GDP loss and a […]
