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 in animals and humans 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.

07 April 2025Emergence of highly virulent multidrug and extensively drug resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in buffalo subclinical mastitis cases
The study analyzed virulence and antibiotic resistance genes in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae from subclinical mastitis cases in buffaloes. The prevalence of SCM was 67.9% at the quarter level and 80.8% at the animal level. Virulence genes, resistance genes, and β-lactamase genes were detected. Biofilm formation was found in 83.6% of E. coli isolates […]
