Researchers have assessed the impact of processing on the presence and transfer of antimicrobial resistant bacteria on chicken meat.
Findings showed that while Campylobacter and E. coli were present in birds entering the plants, their presence and nu
Reported at the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) Global Congress, which took place in Barcelona, Spain from April 27–30, 2024, a study conducted by researchers at the University of Bristol has found high leve
Resistance of Salmonella and Campylobacter bacteria to commonly used antimicrobials continues to be observed frequently in humans and animals, according to a report issued today by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Centre for
Taking a One Health approach, which recognises the connection between the health of people and animals, the report presents data primarily collected between 2019 and 2021 on antibiotic consumption and AMR in Europe.

Updated figures for antimicrobial resistant (AMR) E. coli, Campylobacter, and Salmonella on chicken and turkey meat in the United Kingdom have been released.
A survey covered 306 fresh raw chicken and 302 turkey meat samples collected at retail in th
According to a survey, there are low levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in E. coli on beef and pork meat on sale in the United Kingdom.
The report was produced by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) under contract with the Food Standards
The World Health Organization (WHO) has designated antimicrobial resistance as one of the top ten global challenges facing humanity. This is not surprising, because antimicrobials have been a cornerstone in modern human and veterinary medicine. As th
The latest data on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of bacteria from humans, animals, and food shows there is still plenty of room for improvement in Europe.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and European Food Safety Authori
EFSA is planning to launch a call to gain insights on the role of the water used in pre- and post-harvest handling and processing operations of fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables and herbs (e.g. reclaimed or re-used water) on the spread of antimicro
Minimising transport duration and thoroughly cleaning vehicles, equipment and spaces where animals are loaded and unloaded are some of the measures considered effective in reducing the transmission of resistant bacteria during animal transport.

The report presents results of testing for specific antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria, from lamb and turkey meat on retail sale in the UK between October 2020 and February 2021.
Antimicrobial drugs are commonly used. We have all heard of antibiotics, which fight bacteria, but there are also antifungals, antivirals and antiparasitics that fight fungi, viruses and parasites, respectively.
The more we use these drugs, the less
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) demands action and education by professionals and the public alike. This blog collates resources and materials for raising awareness that have been developed by UKHSA, Health Education England and partners.
