1. Introduction Recently, the interest in “green food products” based on natural compounds and minimal processing of edible products [1,2] has gained attention in determining products’ acceptance [3]. These characteristics are crucial factors that reflect the current trends and economic growth in this sector [4], which is estimated to exceed USD 13 billion by 2024, according to reports from Global Market Insights, Inc. (Selbyville, DE, USA) [5]. From this point...
1 Introduction The emergence of multi-resistant bacteria (MDR) to antibiotics represents one of the principal global threats to public health (Murray et al., 2022). The clinicians have been considered the use of the last therapeutics options, such as vancomycin, polymyxin B, carbapenems and colistin, with low rates of success (Wang et al., 2022; Yao et al., 2023). The infections by MDR are currently associated with considerable increase in morbidity and mortality of intensive...
1. Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the main global threats today, and recent reports estimate that it directly caused 1.27 million deaths in 2019 [1]. In Brazil, the National Health Surveillance Agency, through the Evaluation of National Indicators of Health Care-Related Infections (HAIs) and Microbial Resistance (MR), in the year 2021, estimated that Escherichia coli resistance to different classes of beta-lactams can reach rates of 47.5% to cephalosporins,...
INTRODUCTION Campylobacter jejuni (CJ) is a Gram-negative commensal pathogen prevalent in the intestinal tract of chickens and other animals. Human infection is characterized by inflammatory bowel response, followed by bloody diarrhea and painful symptoms to the affected people and pets. In addition, Guillain-Barre syndrome can be a secondary sequelae, characterized by a potential fatal autoimmune disorder in humans (Crofts et al., 2018). Moreover, CJ multidrug resistance to...

I. INTRODUCTION The ban on the use of AGPs together with good antibiotic stewardship practices by intensive livestock industries resulting in a decline of antimicrobial resistance globally (Salim et al., 2018). Probiotics have been widely studied partially as a replacement of AGPs. Some probiotics are able to improve production performance whilst improving gut health and decreasing the likelihood of mortality due to infection. This study investigated the effects of various novel...

Introduction Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a global disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), causing severe epidemics in Brazil, the USA, Canada, China and Europe over recent years [1]. FHB is caused by the Fusarium species of hemibiotrophic fungi, with F. graminearum being the most prevalent worldwide [2]. In wheat, the characteristic symptom of FHB is the bleaching of infected spikelets prior to senescence [3]. This bleaching can spread from the...
Introduction Aspergillus is a filamentous fungus that produces mycotoxins (secondary metabolites), the main contaminants of food and cause adverse effects on human and animal health. The consumption of these toxins may lead to immunosuppressive, mutagenic, and carcinogenic diseases [1]. Various species of the genus Aspergillus produce aflatoxins such as Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus A. nomius, A. pseudotamarii, A. bombycis, and A. ochraceoroseus [2,...
