Popis: Antibiotic resistance is a global problem that threatens the health of humans and animals alike. Aiming to influence public health policies and practices toward antibiotic resistance control, this review study investigates antibiotic resistance microorganisms and associated antibiotic resistance genes. To examine antibiotics resistance in the food chain, researchers conducted a systematic review of online research journals and other relevant materials. Public health consequences of antibiotics resistance were examined in the study results. 2007 saw the publication of work done by Blasco and others on biological approaches. Bio-analytical testing methods for detecting antibiotic residues in food are described in this article. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and the transfer of antibiotic resistance factors from agricultural soils might infect manure or other polluted sources, introducing pathogenic bacteria into the soil. For the eradication of food-borne diseases, this study's findings suggest that a close examination of the food chain for carbapenem-resistant bacteria and other nonhuman sources, as well as any linkages with people (such as animal owners, farmers and veterinarians), will be helpful.
