Perspectives on the use of organic acids and short chain fatty acids as antimicrobials
TLDR
Development and application of molecular tools to study pathogen behavior in preharvest and postharvest food production environments will enable dissection of specific bacterial genetic regulation involved in response to organic acids, which could lead to the development of more targeted strategies to control foodborne pathogens with organic acids.About:

History of the Use of Antibiotic as Growth Promoters in European Poultry Feeds
TL;DR: The European support to recommendations of the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization, and the World Organization for Animal Health for a ban on antimicrobial use in animal feeds is expected to favor other countries also phase out these substances out.

Essential oils as antimicrobials in food systems – A review
TL;DR: Mechanisms of antimicrobial action, and the antimicrobial properties of plant essential oils are discussed, including their mode of action, effectiveness, synergistic effects, major components and use in foods.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of high and low dose in-home iron fortification on the infant gut microbiome and intestinal inflammation was determined by double-blind randomised controlled trials in 6-month-old Kenyan infants.

The Crisis in Antibiotic Resistance
TL;DR: Mechanisms such as antibiotic control programs, better hygiene, and synthesis of agents with improved antimicrobial activity need to be adopted in order to limit bacterial resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short chain fatty acids in human large intestine, portal, hepatic and venous blood.
TL;DR: Data indicate that substantial carbohydrate, and possibly protein, fermentation is occurring in the human large intestine, principally in the caecum and ascending colon and that the large bowel may have a greater role to play in digestion than has previously been ascribed to it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inactivation of antibiotics and the dissemination of resistance genes.
TL;DR: Although bacterial conjugation once was believed to be restricted in host range, it now appears that this mechanism of transfer permits genetic exchange between many different bacterial genera in nature.

Prevention of drug access to bacterial targets: permeability barriers and active efflux
TL;DR: As the pharmaceutical industry succeeds in producing agents that can overcome specific mechanisms of bacterial resistance, less specific resistance mechanisms such as permeability barriers and multidrug active efflux may become increasingly significant in the clinical setting.
