This editorial discusses the increasing spread of foodborne pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) due to the global livestock and poultry industry, food processing industry, and international trade. It highlights the challenges posed by pathogens such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, Clostridium, and Escherichia coli, which contaminate various types of foods and contribute to the burden of AMR and foodborne diseases. The editorial emphasizes the need for more research and understanding of these pathogens, their mechanisms of resistance and virulence, and their dissemination, using multi-omics approaches. Several papers included in the editorial focus on AMR and virulence factors in Salmonella, highlighting the prevalence of resistance genes and the importance of whole genome sequencing in understanding complex patterns of AMR and virulence. The document also discusses various studies on antimicrobial resistance in different bacterial populations, the importance of a comprehensive approach combining genomics and transcriptomics, and the need for research on drug resistance mechanisms in fungi. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of technology in ensuring food safety and the need for further research to understand pathogenicity, evolution, and prevention in our food supplies.
