Antimicrobial Drug Resistance in Foodborne Pathogens

The rise in drug resistance has become the most serious public health hazard and contributes to human infection which can lead to new deadly foodborne pathogens. Almost 70% of Gram-negative bacteria including E. coli and K. pneumoniae are resistant to fluoroquinolones third-generation cephalosporins and carbapenemases. Herbal medications have recently demonstrated excellent antibacterial activity against the majority of enteropathogens strains.
