Bacteria such as Salmonella and Campylobacter, some of the most common causes of food-borne infections, showed significant resistance to common antimicrobials, according to the newly published EFSA-ECDC European Union Summary Report on antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic and indicator bacteria from humans, animals and food in 2012.
The antimicrobial resistance data among zoonotic and indicator bacteria in 2011, submitted by 26 EU Member States, were jointly analysed by the EFSA and ECDC.
