The most common foodborne illnesses resulting in food poisoning is associated with Salmonella. The primary route of transmission of zoonotic pathogens like salmonella to humans is via food products of animal origin like poultry, dairy, etc. Eggs are incredibly nutritious and economical food available. There is a considerable amount of micro-organisms that…

Camel meat is a significant source of animal protein in many African and Asian countries. It is considered much healthier than other meat animals due to less fat and lower levels of cholesterol. Also, it has a similar taste and texture to beef. It has been reported that antibiotics and…

The incidences of antibiotic resistance (ABR) are continuously increasing and imposing a burden on the global healthcare system. In order to minimize the rate of ABR, it is important to understand major factors contributing to its emergence and spread. An article published by Dr. Michael Bank (Institute of Marine Research,…

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been recommended as one of the biggest threats worldwide. Multiple reasons are responsible for this rapid increase in AMR cases. It includes self-medication, absence of diagnostic tools, dispensing of antibiotics without prescriptions, inappropriate prescribing of antimicrobials by doctors. Not only this, but the doctors’ decision is…

The rapid increase in Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is a global concern. In such a scenario, ABR incidences can be effectively regulated by limiting its spread through the implementation of good practices in all the sectors including plant farming. The livestock waste is generally considered as excellent manure for overall plant…

The increasing level of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant trend seen throughout the globe, and this phenomenon may affect the health of the general public. Studies reveal that there is an evident relationship between the number of antibiotics utilized and the prevalence of bacterial resistance. The practice of antibiotic…

It is well known that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) leads to problematic infections, threatens the success of routine surgery and cancer treatments. As per WHO, AMR is estimated to kill 10 million people per year by 2050. In this regard, one of the troublesome areas is the incidence of biofilm-associated resistant…

Antibiotic-resistant infections are rapidly increasing nowadays. Small wound infections are not easily getting cured with available antibiotics and need longer hospital stays. Thus, antibiotic-resistant infections are imposing an economic burden on the healthcare system worldwide. A team of innovators led by Dr. Rahim Rahimi (Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, United…

The food chain has been considered a major vehicle for the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It has been shown that antibiotic-resistant genes can be transferred in the human gastrointestinal tract, consuming food containing antibiotic-resistant bacteria may promote the transfer of resistant genes to human pathogens in the gut. Therefore, antibiotic-resistant…

In order to regulate the dissemination of antibiotic resistance, a better understanding of factors that trigger the emergence of antibiotic resistance is crucial. The presence of antibiotics in the environment exhibit selection pressure on the microorganisms and accelerates their ability to resist several classes of antibiotics. However, antibiotics are not…
