salmonella enterica is recognized as one of the major food-borne pathogens with more than 2,500 serotypesworldwide. the present study addresses antimicrobial resistance of salmonella enterica serovar enteritidisisolates in iran. a collection of 151 salmonella spp. isolates collected from poultry were serotyped toidentify salmonella enteritidis. sixty-one salmonella enteritidis were subsequently...

In this paper, we provide a state-of-the-art overview of the ethical challenges that arise in the context of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which includes an introduction to the contributions to the symposium in this issue. We begin by discussing why AMR is a distinct ethical issue, and should not be viewed purely as a technical or medical problem. In the second section, we expand on some of t...
