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.

    Comprehensive analysis of antimicrobial resistance dynamics among broiler and duck intensive production systems

    This study investigates antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Ross 308 broilers and Cherry Valley ducks over 15 months and 15 stocking periods. Using next-generation shotgun sequencing, 3,665 distinct AMR types were identified, with 25.3% in broilers and 18% in ducks. AMR diversity declined across production phases, but frequencies increased by the finisher phase. Prophylactic antibiotic use […]

    Retrospective analysis of antimicrobial resistance associated with bovine respiratory disease

    Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in beef cattle feedlots is a growing concern, with studies focusing on cultivation-dependent and cultivation-independent surveillance. However, the current collection of cattle-associated AMR research programs lacks connections. A retrospective analysis of commonly observed AMR genes in opportunistic bacterial pathogens contributing to BRD revealed that the presence of these genes differs by geography. […]

    Understanding antimicrobial resistance in Campylobacter isolates from poultry environments in Gujarat, India

    Campylobacter, a global gastroenteritis pathogen, is primarily spread through contaminated chicken meat. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Campylobacter poses a risk to food safety and public health. A study in Gujarat, India, examined the physical and genetic traits of AMR in Campylobacter species found in chicken caeca. Results showed a high occurrence of ARG carriage in […]
