Abstract

A high contamination rate was found in meat of slaughtered cattle and goats at the time of this study. Certain organisms were isolated from meat and also from wounds of slaughter workers. A high antibiotic resistance pattern was found - in some instances. Following observations of high surface meat contamination, associated with high antibiotic resistance, it must be assumed, that these highly resistant organisms can also be directly transmitted to humans by transport, transaction and by food preparation. This must be taken into consideration in the actual therapeutics.

Antimicrobial Resistance

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.
