“…Use of some organic acids such as tartaric, citric and acetic acids decreased S. t yphimurium at doses of 0.312%, 0.512% and 0.625% for the three levels of strain: 10, 100 and 10 3 CFU/ml respectively (El Baaboua et al, ). The potent role of acidifiers in countering important poultry pathogens including of food‐borne bacterial pathogens and others having public health concerns need to be exploited further for safeguarding poultry health and combating zoonosis (Dhama et al, ; Ramees et al, ).

Ever since the European ban on use of in‐feed antibiotics in food animals, the search for alternate antibiotic‐free growth promoter is undertaken worldwide. There are few alternatives such as probiotics, pre‐biotics, phytochemicals, enzymes and organic acids. Among these alternatives, the organic acids or simply acidifiers play an important role in gut health in animals. The acidifiers could be used to favourably manipulate the intestinal microbial populations and improve the immune response, hence perform an activity similar to antibiotics in food animals in countering pathogenic bacteria. Acidifiers also improve the digestibility of nutrients and increase the absorption of minerals. The incorporation of organic acids also leads to thinning of the intestinal lining which facilitates better absorption of nutrients and its efficient utilization. However, their effect will not be similar among all types of organic acids as their mechanism of activity is based on its pKa value. Moreover, there are claims about the neutralization of acids by the secretion of bicarbonates in the initial part of intestine, reactivity with metallic items in feed mills and reduced palatability due its bitter taste demands non‐reactive and targeted delivery for better performance. Currently, coated salts of acidifiers are available commercially for use in food animals especially pigs and poultry. The present review highlights the role of different acidifiers in livestock nutrition with their potent applications in improving nutrient digestibility, mineral utilization, meat quality, enhancing immunity, antimicrobial effects in countering pathogenic bacteria, boosting performance and production, and thus safeguarding health of livestock animals and poultry.

“…Arcobacters isolation has been successfully achieved from different food sources including meat (chicken meat, pork, beef, chevon, mutton and shellfish), meat products, water, milk, milk products, and vegetables (Winters & Slavik, 2000;Rivas et al, 2004;Morita et al, 2004;Patyal et al, 2011;Ramees et al, 2014c;Ramees et al, 2014d). Hitherto reports confirm that meat serves as an important cause of human infections (Houf et al, 2003;Collado & Figueras, 2011;Ramees et al, 2017).…”

“…Lately, the presences of Arcobacter strains have been shown in a carrot-processing plant (Hausdorf et al, 2011) from lettuce (González & Ferrús, 2011). A. butzleri was isolated from water body in Germany, a drinking water pool (Jacob et al, 1998) and in the USA from well-water (Rice et al, 1999), signifying that A. butzleri can survive in water sources and may even spread through drinking water (Ramees et al, 2017).…”

Arcobacter is an identified emerging food-borne bacterial pathogen. In the current study, 204 different vegetable samples were collected from retail shops or local vendors from northern part (Uttar Pradesh) of India and screened for Arcobacter spp. The samples were enriched in Arcobacter enrichment broth followed by multiplex PCR based detection of the Arcobacter species. Arcobacter butzleri and Arcobacter skirrowii were detected in 13.73% (28/204); 23 were positive for A. butzleri, while 5 showed mixed contamination of A. butzleri and A. skirrowii. The specific PCR amplicons from positive samples were purified and sequenced for further analysis. Sequence analysis of Arcobacter spp. showed a significant genetic similarity irrespective of country and source of origin. A. skirrowii isolation is reported for the first time from a vegetable source. The higher incidences of enteric infections in human in resource poor settings, particularly developing countries, could be due to high frequency of Arcobacter contaminations in vegetables. Further epidemiological studies are warranted to probe the role of vegetable contamination in transmission of this important pathogen of global public health concern.

“…The emerging and re-emerging pathogens/diseases, for example, Zika fever, Ebola virus (Singh et al, 2016;Singh et al, 2017); Johne"s disease (Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis) (Chaubey et al, 2017), listeriosis (Listeria monocytogenes), Arcobacters (Ramees et al, 2017); bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle; phocine distemper in seals, multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum, and others are having an increasing impact on human and animal health, as well as zoonotic concerns (Daszak et al, 2000;Cleaveland et al, 2001;Dobson & Foufopoulos, 2001;Dhama et al, 2013). The rising incidences of emerging antibiotic resistance have also posed a challenge to the health of humans and their companion animals.…”

Emerging pathogens are a major threat to the biological safety of the world in the 21 st century. Owing to many reasons, the emergence and re-emergence of deadly pathogens have increased and posed a considerable challenge to human and animal health, alike. Various factors including ecological changes along with other specific risk factors related to the type and classification of the pathogen, route of transmission and host range are among the most commonly associated criterion for emerging and reemerging pathogenic environments. Owing to the lack of essential in-depth knowledge, challenges remain in this domain to tackle and combat emerging pathogens. Significant research efforts, exploitations of natural resources with potent bioactivities, and development of scientific innovations along with new degrees of integration are required to tackle this challenging threat. Aiming to resolve these issues, various methodological approaches including in -vitro, in-vivo, ex-vivo, etc. have been exploited, in the past several years. Research is underway around the globe to develop or engineer bioactive materials. Among them, biomaterials-based therapeutic constructs are of supreme interests in the current biomedical sector. The following measures, i.e. (i) principle sources of emerging pathogens, (ii) linking pathogen surveillance of wild and domestic animals, (iii) public health surveillance at the national and international level, and (iv) importantly the coverage of these surveillance issues, etc. should be taken with utmost care. This will ultimately make a significant and essential contribution to the detection and control of emerging and re-emerging pathogens.
