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 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.

04 December 2024Tuning antibacterial efficacy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa by using green AgNPs in chitosan thin films as a plastic alternative
This study explores the use of Eucalyptus globulus leaf extracts for synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional colloidal AgNPs. The green AgNPs showed bactericidal effects at 20 μM, improved antibacterial properties of chitosan when incorporated into thin films, and could be used in food packaging to mitigate microbial contamination.

28 November 2024High carriage and possible hidden spread of multidrug-resistant Salmonella among asymptomatic workers in Yulin, China
A study in Yulin, China, found that food workers carry Salmonella more frequently than non-food workers. Healthy carriers serve as natural reservoirs for Salmonella, with higher carriage rates. Food workers also have higher levels of antimicrobial resistance. Factors like meteorological, social, and hygiene influence carriage rates. The study highlights the risk food workers pose in […]
