Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), particularly regarding gram-negative bacteria and extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL), poses significant health risks in humans and veterinary medicine, and is a key concern in the "One Health" framework.
- A study conducted at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki collected 500 raw poultry skin samples, finding that 64% were positive for ESBL-producing bacteria, highlighting a substantial presence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens in the food supply.
- Among the isolates, 71.67% were identified as true ESBL producers, with specific β-lactamase genes detected, indicating a potential risk for the transmission of antibiotic resistance from poultry to humans.

Patients with extensive burn injuries suffer from multisystem trauma, which affects their medical, psychological, and social well-being for many years.

Our study tries to examine whether changes manifest as a higher risk of death during their lifespan, compared with the general population.
