Microbiology of the Food Chain- Detection of antimicrobial resistance genes and mutations - Part 1: Resistance determinants in bacteria
Abstract
This document will provide general requirements and guidelines for the detection of specific antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants in bacteria as identified by whole genome sequencing. This document will include details on the detection of AMR mechanisms and prediction of AMR in a range of bacterial species. The document will include both verified whole genome sequences and targeted analysis. The scope includes a One Health approach for a document formally applicable to bacteria isolated from the food chain but with the purpose to be applicable also to bacteria covered by ISO/TC 34/SC 16 Horizontal methods for molecular biomarker analysis, bacteria isolated from clinical samples, covered by ISO/TC 212 Medical laboratories and in vitro diagnostic systems, as well as bacteria isolated from animals, as covered by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH).
