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.

05 November 2025Antimicrobial peptides disrupting the bacterial membrane reduce Salmonella colonization in chickens
This study demonstrates that small antimicrobial peptides derived from Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) can effectively combat Salmonella infections in poultry, a major source of human foodborne illness. Three peptides (P1, P2, and P4) inhibited multiple Salmonella serovars in vitro, likely by disrupting bacterial membranes, and significantly reduced S. Typhimurium colonization in chickens without disturbing the […]

30 October 2025Longitudinal Evaluation of Interventions on Antimicrobial Use and Antimicrobial Resistance on Broiler Farms in West Java, Indonesia
This longitudinal study (2019–2023) assessed how targeted interventions affected antimicrobial use (AMU) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Escherichia coli on small- and medium-scale broiler farms in West Java, Indonesia. Data from 98 production cycles before and 55 cycles after interventions were analyzed. While overall antimicrobial use slightly declined (from 11 to 9 treatment days per […]

28 October 2025Understanding how veterinarians’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices influence antibiotic prescription: a systematic review of survey studies
This systematic review analyzed 59 studies (2004–2023) on how non-clinical factors influence veterinarians’ antibiotic prescribing practices across livestock, small animal, equine, and mixed veterinary settings. It found that veterinarians’ decisions are shaped not only by medical needs but also by multiple intrinsic factors—such as self-confidence, fear of poor outcomes, desire to meet client expectations, and […]
