Carcass Decontamination Treatments Can Increase Antibiotic Resistance

摘要

Decontamination treatments can increase the prevalence of resistance to antibiotics of E.coli naturally present on npoultry, according to researchers. n nChemical decontaminants could favour the emergence, selection and/or proliferation of antibiotic-resistant strains nin microbial populations on poultry meat, according to Rosa Capita and colleagues at the Department of Food nHygiene and Food Technology at the University of León in Spain.
