“…have been reported in aquatic environments in Brazil [ 66 ]. These environments serve as crucial reservoirs of MDR bacteria, as demonstrated by Esposito et al [ 67 ], who isolated two Klebsiella pneumoniae strains carrying the blaKPC-2 carbapenemase gene in aquatic environments in São Paulo, Brazil. This highlights the dissemination of certain strains beyond hospital settings, emphasizing the role of environmental reservoirs in the persistence and spread of highly resistant bacteria, potentially contributing to the amplification and spread of antibiotic resistance in the community.…”

Food safety remains a significant global public health concern, with the risk of unsafe food varying worldwide. The economies of several low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) heavily rely on livestock, posing a challenge to ensuring the production of safe food. This review discusses our understanding of pre-harvest critical issues related to food safety in LMICs, specifically focusing on animal-derived food. In LMICs, food safety regulations are weak and inadequately enforced, primarily concentrating on the formal market despite a substantial portion of the food sector being dominated by informal markets. Key critical issues at the farm level include animal health, a low level of good agriculture practices, and the misuse of antimicrobials. Effectively addressing foodborne diseases requires a comprehensive One Health framework. Unfortunately, the application of the One Health approach to tackle food safety issues is notably limited in LMICs. In conclusion, considering that most animal-source foods from LMICs are marketed through informal channels, food safety legislation and policies need to account for this context. Interventions aimed at reducing foodborne bacterial pathogens at the farm level should be scalable, and there should be strong advocacy for the proper implementation of pre-harvest interventions through a One Health approach.

“…Food-producing animals, particularly cattle, have been identified as the primary source of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria within the Enterobacteriaceae family across multiple countries [27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. Among the most encountered members of Enterobacteriaceae in this category is Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., and Salmonella spp., owing to their role in causing diseases in dairy cattle [34][35][36]. Investigating β-lactam resistance in these bacteria is of utmost importance to address and manage the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant strains among food-producing animals, a critical measure for safeguarding both animal and human health.…”

The consumption of milk contaminated with antibiotic-resistant bacteria poses a significant health threat to humans. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Enterobacteriaceae producing β-lactamases (ESBL, MBL, and AmpC) in cow and buffalo milk samples from two Indian states, Haryana and Assam. A total of 401 milk samples were collected from dairy farmers and vendors in the specified districts. Microbiological assays, antibiotic susceptibility testing, and PCR-based genotyping were employed to analyze 421 Gram-negative bacterial isolates. The overall prevalence of β-lactamase genes was 10% (confidence interval (CI) (7–13)), with higher rates in Haryana (13%, CI (9–19)) compared to Assam (7%, CI (4–11)). The identified β-lactamase genes in isolates were blaCMY, blaMOX, blaFOX, blaEBC, and blaDHA, associated with AmpC production, while blaCTX-M1, blaSHV, and blaTEM were detected as ESBL producers. While blaVIM, blaIMP, blaSPM, blaSIM, and blaGIM were identified as MBL producers. Notably, Shigella spp. were the dominant β-lactamase producers among identified Enterobacteriaceae. This study highlights the presence of various prevalent β-lactamase genes in milk isolates, indicating the potential risk of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in dairy products. The presence of β-lactam resistance raises concern as this could restrict antibiotic options for treatment. The discordance between genotypic and phenotypic methods emphasizes the necessity for comprehensive approaches that integrate both techniques to accurately assess antibiotic resistance. Urgent collaborative action incorporating rational and regulated use of antibiotics across the dairy value chain is required to address the global challenge of β-lactam resistance.
