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 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.

08 November 2024Public health concern of antimicrobial resistance and virulence determinants in E. coli isolates from oysters in Egypt
The study investigates the role of Egyptian oysters as a source for E. coli, identifying their resistance and virulence-associated gene profiles. 33 fresh oyster samples were examined for E. coli, with 72.7% of them being multi-drug resistant. The most prevalent gene was blaTEM, with blaCMY2 being the most prevalent. Most isolates carry virulence genes associated […]

05 November 2024Antimicrobial resistance of L. monocytogenes from different food commodities: A global status.
Listeriosis, a serious foodborne illness, affects individuals with weakened immune systems. Strategies to control listeriosis include food safety education, regular disease follow-up, and early case examination. The precise use of antimicrobials is crucial, but the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and multidrug resistance (MDR) strains has made the treatment of listerial infections more complex. Monitoring […]
