Antimicrobial Resistance of Foodborne Pathogenic Bacteria in Shaanxi Province

Abstract:

Food safety problems have emerged in endlessly in recent years. Foodborne pathogens are one of the main factors causing food safety outbreaks, which seriously endanger human health. The common pathogens causing foodborne diseases are Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and so on. In the past few decades, due to the excessive use of antibiotics in medical, aquaculture and other fields, antimicrobial resistance has become increasingly serious and has further aggravated the potential risk of foodborne pathogens. Although there is a surveillance network for the antimicrobial resistance of foodborne pathogens in China at the national level, it is not available at the provincial one. Therefore, this paper aims to summarize the antimicrobial resistance of foodborne pathogens in Shaanxi Province, in order to provide a basis for antimicrobial resistance monitoring of foodborne pathogens.
