USDA Report Highlights Multi-Year Trends for Salmonella Antimicrobial Resistance

The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Services (FSIS) has released a report highlighting Salmonella antimicrobial resistance (AMR) trends from 2014-2019. The FSIS NARMS Multi-Year Report evaluates trends in Salmonella serotypes and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in certain food animal species and products sampled from 2014 through 2019 as part of FSIS NARMS sampling.

The National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) is a national public health surveillance system through which FSIS partners with state and local public health departments, the CDC, and the FDA to track changes in antimicrobial susceptibility of select foodborne bacteria found in ill people, retail meats, and food animals.
