“…Antimicrobial resistance is transmitted between microorganisms through the acquisition of genetic material by conjugation, transformation or transduction processes of plasmids, transposons and integrons that contribute to the incorporation of resistance genes between microorganisms of the same genus (horizontal transmission) or different genera (vertical transmission) (Becerra et al, 2009;Cires, 2002;Pérez-Cano & Robles-Contreras, 2013). In recent years, the resistance of different pathogens in foods, such as Salmonella spp., E. coli, and L. monocytogenes, has been reported (De Nes, Riboldi, Frazzon, d'Azevedo & Frazzon, 2010; Puig Peña, Espino Hernández IJFS October 2020 Volume 9 pages 394-406 (Dallal et al, 2010;Fernandez, 2011;Gonzalez-Hein, Cordero, Garcia & Figueroa, 2013;Wieczorek & Osek, 2013). Microorganisms are reservoirs of antimicrobialresistance genes which can potentially be exchanged between other pathogenic and commensal bacteria.…”
