Antimicrobial resistance of commensal and from food-producing animals in Russia.

Background And Aim: Although and are common members of human and animal gut microbiota, their resistance to different antimicrobials makes them important pathogens. Multidrug-resistant enterococci often contaminate foods of animal origin at slaughterhouses. The World Health Organization and the World Organization for Animal Health recommend including animal-derived enterococci in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) monitoring programs.

Antimicrobial resistance of commensal from food-producing animals in Russia.

Background And Aim: Commensal is an important indicator of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animals and food of animal origin. Therefore, it was recommended by the World Health Organization and OIE for inclusion in resistance surveillance programs. At the same time, the data on isolates from animals in Russia are scarce.
