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.

06 March 2026A Mediterranean perspective on antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture
This recent study in Aquaculture examines the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in aquaculture systems, highlighting how the use of antibiotics to control bacterial diseases in fish farming can promote the emergence and spread of resistant bacteria in aquatic environments. The authors explain that aquaculture operations—often located in open water systems—can facilitate the dissemination […]

06 March 2026Antimicrobial use and Escherichia coli resistance patterns in Hungarian pig farms: a data-driven farm-level analysis
A study on commercial pig farms in Hungary investigated the relationship between antimicrobial use (AMU) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Escherichia coli isolates by combining farm-level antibiotic usage data with microbiological resistance measurements. Across four farms and 203 bacterial isolates, the researchers found large differences in antibiotic use, with amoxicillin being the most commonly used […]

27 February 2026Antimicrobial Resistance in Salmonella from Indian Poultry: Trends, Challenges, and One Health Perspectives
Salmonella remains a major foodborne pathogen linked to poultry, and in India, the rapid intensification of poultry farming combined with widespread, often unregulated antibiotic use has driven the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) strains. This review analysed 1,780 global studies (including 35 from India, 2000–2025) and found wide regional variation in Salmonella prevalence in Indian poultry […]
