Abstract
Food-related
bacteria are a very diverse population. They can be found in
environment where food and feed is produced and handled. Nowadays, the
foodborne zoonoses of greatest concern are campylobacteriosis,
salmonellosis and Verotoxigenic Escherichia coli, and
antibiotic resistance in these pathogens is an emerging health issue.
Studies have been published about antibiotic resistant bacteria in
different ecological niches. In our study, we found 40% of samples from
food of animal origin contained bacteria resistant to one or more
antibiotics. Without the interdisciplinary concept “one world one
medicine one health”, bacteria will continue to produce offspring that
are multiresistant to antibiotics.
