The European Union summary report on antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic and indicator bacteria from humans, animals and food in 2022–2023

Abstract This report presents the main findings of the 2022–2023 harmonised antimicrobial resistance (AMR) monitoring in Salmonella spp., Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli from humans and food‐producing animals (broilers, laying hens and fattening turkeys, fattening pigs and cattle under 1 year of age) and derived meat. For animals and meat, AMR data on indicator commensal Escherichia coli, presumptive extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase (ESBL)‐/AmpC beta‐lactamase (AmpC)−/carbapenemase (CP)‐producing E. coli and the occurrence of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are also analysed. Generally, resistance differed greatly between reporting countries and antimicrobials. A high proportion…
