Multidrug-resistant E. coli has been found in supermarket meat samples tested in a Spanish study.
Researchers said findings show consumers may be exposed to bacteria capable of causing severe infections through beef and pork. A full paper is not yet available but initial results were presented at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology

A study in the United Kingdom has provided new information about antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in lamb and turkey meat.
Antimicrobial drugs are given to animals for veterinary purposes to treat and prevent disease and to humans with bacterial infections. However, bacteria can adapt to survive the effects of antimicrobials. AMR

Levels of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) E. coli in chicken in the United Kingdom have remained stable in the past few years, according to a report.
Findings come from a survey of AMR in E. coli in fresh retail chicken in 2020 published by the Food Standards Agency (FSA). Generic E.

Food chain monitoring in Finland has found a low level of an indicator of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in meat and animals, according to recent review of data.
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and AmpC-producing E. coli bacteria were reported for broilers, chicken meat, and beef in 2020.

Data on the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in human infections from Salmonella and Campylobacter in Europe has revealed little progress.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) found that resistance is still high in bacteria that are causing foodborne infections.
Data from

Two agencies in the Netherlands have looked at the prevalence of selected pathogens in chickens for meat production.
The study reaffirmed Campylobacter, Salmonella and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria on broiler farms can be transmitted to humans through meat consumption and direct or indirect contact.
In 2018 and 2019 the National
