Levels of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) E. coli in chicken in the United Kingdom have remained stable in the past few years, according to a report.
Findings come from a survey of AMR in E. coli in fresh retail chicken in 2020 published by the Food St
Today marks the final day of World Antibiotic Awareness Week (WAAW) 2021. The campaign aims to increase awareness of global antimicrobial resistance and to encourage best practice among public, health workers and policy makers.
Analysis: the invisible threat of antibiotic resistance is a health issue that urgently needs addressing by all of us, from farmers to consumers

As we've seen recently, changing people’s behaviour is really d
Transplanting gut microbes from chickens more resistant to Campylobacter into birds that are susceptible does not improve resistance, according to researchers.
To determine the types and numbers of microbes present, scientists from the Roslin Institu
Salmonella and Campylobacter are becoming increasingly resistant to ciprofloxacin, one of the antibiotics of choice for treating infections caused by these bacteria. The conclusion is part of the latest report on antimicrobial resistance in zoonoses

Antibiotic resistant bacteria, often called “superbugs” are appearing and spreading all over the world. These mutant bacteria grow and spread quickly because of choices people make about the use of antibiotics and the control of spread of infection.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) – the ability of microorganisms to resist antimicrobial treatments, especially antibiotics – has a direct impact on human and animal health and carries a heavy economic burden due to higher costs of treatments and reduc
On September 23, CDC celebrated the Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Challenge at a United Nations General Assembly side event. The AMR Challenge has been a yearlong effort to accelerate the fight against AMR with action across governments and industri
Listeria and Campylobacter both increased this past year in Ireland, according to figures from the Health Protection Surveillance Centre.
The number of listeriosis patients was the highest since the disease became notifiable in 2004. More than 3,000
Seagulls all over Australia are carrying superbugs resistant to antibiotics, scientists say.
They found more than 20% of silver gulls nationwide carrying bacteria such as E. coli, which can cause urinary tract and blood infections and sepsis.
Pig ear dog treats are the suspected source of a multidrug-resistant, multistate Salmonella outbreak among humans, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The use of whole genome sequencing can improve the way antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is monitored in food and animals, EFSA says in a new report published today. Ahead of the revised legislation on AMR monitoring that is due to come into force in 20
