Antibiotic resistance is a rapidly growing threat to human health. The environment - including animals and plants functions both as a transmission route for antibiotic resistant pathogens and a source of resistance genes. The food supply chain connects environmental habitats for bacteria with humans through a route that sometimes - due to use of antibiotics in both agriculture and aquaculture - includes substantial selection for resistance. According to international food standards, selection and dissemination of foodborne resistance should be considered in the risk analysis of food production. High-throughput sequencing and metagenomics could contribute to understanding these transmission and selection processes in the food supply chain.
