Abstract
The primary objective of this project was to update knowledge and raise awareness regarding antimicrobial resistance (AMR) associated with the food chain. The focus was on understanding how AMR impacts consumer health through the food chain and to inform future actions by Safefood. This involved reviewing scientific data on zoonotic bacteria like Salmonella spp., verocytotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC), and Campylobacter spp., which are transmitted from animals to humans via food. Additionally, the report considered other AMR bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile, and the role of commensal bacteria, probiotic bacteria, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in AMR. The project aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of AMR in the food chain to support effective surveillance and intervention strategies.
