Antibiotic resistance dynamics of the most frequently isolated potentially pathogenic bacteria from the food sector

Abstract

Antibiotic resistance is a significant threat to human health, and the food sector often serves as an important reservoir of potentially pathogenic bacteria. In this context, it is important to investigate and know the dynamics of antibiotic resistance at the level of the most frequently isolated bacteria from the food sector. The aim of this study was to highlight the implication of antibiotic resistance in the food sector to protect public health and to counter the emerging threats generated by bioresistance in the food sector. Thus, we presented the role of the food sector in the spread of bioresistance, the methodology necessary to investigate antibiotic resistance in the food sector and the importance of identifying antibiotic resistance in bacteria isolated from food.
