Resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem that the World Health Organization has declared one of the biggest threats to global health. The food chain is one of the most important ways of transmitting and spreading resistance to antibiotics between the population of resistant and populated by sensitive commensal and / or pathogenic microorganisms. Resistance to antibiotics can be inborn, or acquired by mutation or lateral gene transfer. From the aspect of the spread of resistance, only resistance acquired by the lateral transfer of the gene is significant. There are numerous methods for detecting and determining the nature of antibiotic resistance in bacteria isolated from food. The methods must be standardized and ensure the consistency of the obtained results. Methods for determining the minimum inhibitory concentration of antibiotics are used to detect phenotypic resistance in bacteria isolated from food. They include a microdilution method, an agar dilution method, and an E-test. Qualitative and semi-quantitative methods commonly used in clinical isolates are not suitable for antibiotic resistance testing in food-isolated microorganisms. In the case of microorganisms with detected presence of phenotypic resistance to antibiotics, the presence of the resistance gene is determined. Microorganisms evidenced by the presence of genetic determinants associated with acquired resistance to antibiotics represent a risk of resistance dissemination among the susceptible populations. Commercially used microorganisms should not possess genetic determinants of transferable antibiotic resistance.
