The aim of this work was analyze from aspect of veterinary medicine hazards of antimicrobial resistance in food chain and their impact on public health. The issue of antimicrobial resistance is of world wide concern. Many scientific reviews have focused on antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic bacterial pathogens and the possible link between the use of veterinary antimicrobials, prophylactics and growth promoters and resistance issues in human medicine. Antimicrobial resistant bacteria are biological hazards resulting in increased animals and human morbidity and mortality and are of veterinary and public concern. The use antimicrobial agents in animals, plant production and production of other sources of food and feed has adverse veterinary and public health consequences by creating a resistant bacteria and of bacteria resistance genes. Consequently the transfer of antimicrobial- resistant bacteria and bacteria-borne resistance genes from animals or crops to humans via food remains a matter of public health concerns. The principles that are applied to the prevention and control of the spread of pathogenic bacteria through of food will also contribute to the prevention and control of antimicrobial- resistant bacteria. Resistant Salmonella and Campylobacter and verotoxigenic Escherichia coli involved in human disease are mostly spread through foods.
