Antibiotics Resistance among Major Foodborne Bacterial Pathogens
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Bacteria-mediated food poisoning is a major contributing factor for the increase in a total number of hospital visits, stays, and emergency room (ER) visits among otherwise healthy people. In most cases, bacterial food poisoning is self-limiting in healthy adults; however, the condition often requires medical interventions in children and immunocompromised patients. Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Campylobacter, Vibrio, Listeria monocytogenes and Shigella are the major bacterial pathogens that are responsible for food poisoning. One of the major challenges faced by physicians with food poisoning cases is the emergence of antibiotic resistance which renders antibiotic treatment ineffective. The following review addresses these issues with a brief overview of each pathogen, the major reasons for the emergence of antibiotic resistance, and suggestions on how we can prevent the incidence of antibiotic resistance.
