The Growing Threat of Antimicrobial Resistance in Non-Typhoidal Salmonella Found in Retail Food
Antimicrobial resistance is a growing problem across the world, and recent research has shown that non-typhoidal Salmonella bacteria in retail food is becoming increasingly resistant. In a study published in the journal Food Microbiology, researchers from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL) have found that not only is the prevalence of non-typhoidal Salmonella in retail food rising, but it is also showing signs of antimicrobial resistance.
A new study by UNL researchers has found that retail food is becoming increasingly contaminated with drug-resistant non-typhoidal Salmonella bacteria. The prevalence of this bacteria in retail food is growing, and this poses a serious health risk for consumers. As this bacteria is resistant to drugs, it can be difficult to treat infections caused by it, making it essential to take preventative measures to reduce the risk of contamination.
