A farm to the fork study: Banning of colistin in Portuguese poultry farms reduces colistin-resistant bacteria in poultry meat
A new research study developed by researchers from the BacT_Drugs Lab at UCIBIO - FFUP - University of Porto, brings good news for poultry production and food safety related to bacterial resistance to colistin, a last-resort antibiotic reserved to severe/hard-to-treat human infections.
