Introduction With the rise of antimicrobial resistance and the more frequent identification of multidrug resistance strains, as well as a lack of research into the development of new antimicrobial agents, scientists are increasingly interested in tests of active substances derived from plants due to their ease of availability, safety, and cost effectiveness (Albert, 2021). The use of medicinal plants in animal nutrition has increased due to their positive properties such as...

1 - INTRODUCTION Fusarium graminearum (teleomorph Gibberella zeae) is an ascomycete fungal pathogen and the main causative agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB), or scab disease, on wheat. F. graminearum infects wheat floral tissues at flowering (anthesis), secreting many cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs), other proteins and metabolites as well as mycotoxins that contaminate the developing grain, rendering it unsuitable for both human and livestock consumption (McMullen et al.,...

The continuous pursuit of a sustainable food system remains a global priority, with increased food security and minimization of postharvest loss as primary objectives. This is a critical issue, as recent estimates from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Reports on the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023 indicate that hunger affected a staggering number of individuals ranging from approximately 691 million to 783 million people in 2022, with an approximate midrange...

INTRODUCTION In recent years, the emergence of new products for human and animal consumption has intensified, which could be produced exclusively through the extrusion process. In particular, those produced with high levels of protein, derived from pulses, known as plant based. Several products of this type now available in supermarkets imitate pieces of meat, whether analogous to steaks or fillets, whether chicken, beef, fish, or even imitating seafood. The upper layer of fish...

Probiotics are included in the feed and administered continuously during the entire production cycle to maintain intestinal integrity and strengthen the immunity of the bird, thus reducing the need for repeated medication. Alternatively, water-soluble probiotics are often applied to quickly react to upcoming stress situations in the flock – but they can negatively impact the formation of biofilm in the water lines. For this reason, formulations that reduce the formation of biofilms...

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...
