Abstract
This review gives an overview on the prevalence of
antimicrobial resistance in the food chain in the
European Union. The main emphasis is on two important
food pathogens, Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp.
Furthermore, antibiotic residues reported in food
commodities in the EU during 2008-2012, as well as the
current legal framework regarding antibiotic use in the
EU are discussed. In addition, the review also presents
alternatives for the antibiotic treatment of food of
animal origin.
