antimicrobial activity, antibioresistance reversal properties, and toxicity screen of ethanolic extracts of Sommier and Levier (giant hogweed), L. (brown knapweed), and L. (Pigweed): Three invasive plants.

Background: Plants, including invasive ones, can play a significant role in the fight against antibiotic resistance and the search for new antimicrobials.

Aims: The present study aimed at assessing the antimicrobial activity, antibioresistance reversal properties, and toxicity of four samples from invasive plants, namely, (leaves and flowers), (leaves), and (flowers).

Methods: The extraction of active compounds was done with ethanol (80%, ) and the extraction yields were calculated.

The public health issue of antibiotic residues in food and feed: Causes, consequences, and potential solutions.

Antibiotics are among the essential veterinary medicine compounds associated with animal feed and food animal production. The use of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections is almost unavoidable, with less need to demonstrate their importance. Although banned as a growth factor for a few years, their use in animals can add residues in foodstuffs, presenting several environmental, technological, animal health, and consumer health risks.
