The latest data on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria from humans, animals, and foods in Europe has been released.
Resistance to commonly used antimicrobials such as ampicillin, tetracyclines, and sulfonamides remains high in humans and animals for key pathogens like Salmonella and Campylobacter.
The report was published by the European

The latest data on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of bacteria from humans, animals, and food shows there is still plenty of room for improvement in Europe.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) said resistance of Salmonella and Campylobacter to commonly used antimicrobials

Researchers have highlighted high levels of drug resistant Salmonella in pork in Vietnam.
Efforts were led by scientists at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in England who looked at antibiotic resistance in Salmonella strains isolated from pork meat at food retail outlets.
Researchers studied multi-drug resistance —

Pig ear dog treats are the suspected source of a multidrug-resistant, multistate Salmonella outbreak among humans, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The CDC reports that whole-genome sequencing analysis of Salmonella isolates from 30 of the 45 outbreak victims predicted antibiotic resistance or decreased susceptibility
