Exploring frameworks for quantitative risk assessment of antimicrobial resistance along the food chain

Campylobacter, a major cause of bacterial gastroenteritis, is transmitted through birds, and the silent pandemic of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant public health challenge. This project aimed to describe the global knowledge on AMR Campylobacter, estimating the prevalence of fluoroquinolone-resistant Campylobacter isolated from broiler meat at retail level. A systematic literature review and meta-analysis were conducted, comparing AMR isolates by Campylobacter species, geographical regions, processing step, and sampling matrices. The project’s outcome will support future risk assessment and consumer exposure to AMR Campylobacter via broiler meat consumption.
