Abstract
Pork industry plays an important role in antibiotics consumption, which can lead to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) spread. Hence, monitoring and controlling AMR in swine production chains is essential to reduce the risks to public health. A systematic review protocol was developed to assess AMR in the pig production chain in Brazil, the fourth largest producer and exporter of pork in the world. More than 3000 strains obtained from swine chain had their antibiotic resistance characteristics assessed. Results showed a major attention to the research of swine AMR in Salmonella and Escherichia coli. Resistance against quinolones has been most investigated and high levels of resistance against tetracyclines were observed. Moreover, resistance profiles and determinants against colistin were frequently found. Meta-analyses were performed to estimate the frequency of microorganisms from the World Health Organization (WHO) global priority pathogens list of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The results showed prevalences ≤ 0.11 of each priority group in Brazilian pork. As far as is known, this is the first research to provide a comprehensive synthesis of available data on AMR in this production chain. It may support the tackling of knowledge gaps and inspire the enhancement of policies to monitoring, controlling, and managing foodborne AMR.
期刊介绍:
Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition serves as an authoritative outlet for critical perspectives on contemporary technology, food science, and human nutrition.
With a specific focus on issues of national significance, particularly for food scientists, nutritionists, and health professionals, the journal delves into nutrition, functional foods, food safety, and food science and technology. Research areas span diverse topics such as diet and disease, antioxidants, allergenicity, microbiological concerns, flavor chemistry, nutrient roles and bioavailability, pesticides, toxic chemicals and regulation, risk assessment, food safety, and emerging food products, ingredients, and technologies.
