The National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) recently published its 2020 Integrated Summary, which includes data providing phenotypic and genomic antimicrobial resistance (AMR) trends for Salmonella, Campylobacter, generic Escherichia coli, and Enterococcus isolated from retail meat and food-producing animals.
Whole genome sequencing of Enterococcus faecium presents the theoretical possibility of probiotics in swine and cattle production as a source of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
