The irrational use of antimicrobials has led to the emergence of resistance, impacting not only pathogenic bacteria but also commensal bacteria. Resistance against colistin, a last-resort antibiotic, mediated by globally disseminated plasmid-borne mobile colistin resistance () genes, has raised significant global concerns. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial resistance patterns of colistin-resistant () and mobilised colistin resistance ( 1-5) genes from broiler meat.

: The increased prevalence of antibiotic resistance among Gram-negative bacteria presents a severe public health challenge, leading to increased mortality rates, prolonged hospital stays, and higher medical costs. In Greece, the issue of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria is particularly alarming, exacerbated by overuse of antibiotics and inadequate infection control measures. This study aimed to detect the prevalence of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Gram-negative bacteria in a tertiary hospital in Western Greece over the last eight years from 2016 to 2023.

Widespread use of antibiotics has led to a global increase in resistance. The bacterium is a facultative pathogen that often develops antibiotic resistance and is easily transmitted, not only in animal health but also in public health. Within the poultry sector, domestic fowl is widespread and one of the most dynamically growing sectors, which is why regular, extensive monitoring is crucial.

Unlabelled: The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis. Consequently, it is more urgent than ever to prioritize AMR containment and support countries in improving the detection, characterization, and rapid response to emerging AMR threats. We conducted a prospective, multicenter study to assess the prevalence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales in infectious processes in Argentina during the post-COVID-19 pandemic period and explore therapeutic alternatives for their treatment (RECAPT-AR study).
