Staphylococcus aureus is a major foodborne pathogen. The ability of S. aureus to produce biofilm is a significant virulence factor, triggering its persistence in hostile environments. In this study, we screened a total of 420 different food samples and human hand swabs to detect S. aureus and to det...

The eradication of staphylococcal infections has become more difficult due to the development of antibiotic resistance and virulence in biofilm-forming Staphylococcus aureus. The presence of the life-threatening zoonotic pathogen, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), in foods indicates a public h...

Enterococci are commensal bacteria that inhabit the digestive tracts of animals and humans. The transmission of antibiotic-resistant genes through human–animal contact poses a potential public health risk worldwide, as zoonoses from wildlife reservoirs can occur on every continent. The purpose of th...

ABSTRACT The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase (ESBL)‐producing Escherichia coli (ESBL‐EC) in seafood represents a significant public health concern. In this study, we screened 102 raw seafood samples, comprising shrimp ( n = 42), sea fish ( n = 36), an...

The widespread and often unregulated application of antibiotics in livestock production has resulted in the presence of antibiotic residues in animal-derived foods, including meat, milk, and eggs, which raises significant food safety and public health issues. These residues are associated with antim...
