The escalating presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in food systems presents a pressing challenge, particularly preventing contamination and ensuring safety. Traditional sanitation methods, such as cooking chemical disinfectants, provide effective means to reduce ARB, yet there is growing need for additional preventive measures directly on surfaces. This review explores the potential chitosan–phytochemical composites (CPCs) surface coatings prevent initial by thereby offering novel complementary approach conventional safety practices. Chitosan, combined with active plant-derived metabolites (phytochemicals), forms notable antibacterial antioxidant properties that enhance its protective effects. We examine CPC synthesis methodologies, including modifications, free radical-induced grafting, enzyme-mediated techniques, which stability activity CPCs against ARB. Highlighting recent findings CPCs’ efficacy through minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) zones inhibition, this underscores ARB risks surfaces, seafood, meat, postharvest products. insights provided here aim encourage future strategies leveraging preventative treatment mitigate production processing environments.

Thermophilic Campylobacter species are among the main culprits behind bacterial gastroenteritis globally and have grown progressively resistant to clinically important antimicrobials. Many studies been carried out explore innovative alternative strategies control antibiotic-resistant campylobacters in animal reservoirs human hosts; however, limited performed develop efficient schemes against biofilms. This study investigated antimicrobial antibiofilm activities of some herbal extracts multidrug-resistant (MDR) recovered from different sources using phenotypic molecular techniques. The overall prevalence was 21.5%, representing 15.25% 6.25% for C. jejuni coli, respectively. Regarding jejuni, highest resistance rate observed amoxicillin-clavulanic acid colistin (85.25% each), followed by cefotaxime (83.61%) tetracycline (81.97%), whereas coli isolates showed absolute erythromycin (92%) (88%). Remarkably, all were MDR with elevated multiple (MAR) indices (0.54-1). potentials green tea (Camellia sinensis), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) ginger (Zingiber officinale) assessed disk diffusion assay broth microdilution technique.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a global health concern, has prompted research into antibiotic adjuvants as potential solution. Although our group previously reported the enhancing effects of gallic acid (GA) and methyl gallate (MG) on penicillin G activity against MRSA, synergistic with other β-lactam antibiotics underlying mechanism have not been fully explored. Therefore, this study primarily aimed to investigate antibacterial synergism through disc diffusion, checkerboard, time–kill assays. The β-lactamase inhibition was also examined both molecular modeling in vitro experiments. Additionally, bacterial morphology changes were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). results revealed that GA MG exhibited anti-MRSA showed indifferent when combined methicillin susceptible S. (MSSA). Interestingly, demonstrated only β-lactamase-unstable MRSA lowest fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) indexes ≤3.75. However, weak inhibition. Furthermore, GA, MG, combination ampicillin induced morphological suggesting possible affecting cell membrane. These findings suggest could potentially serve an adjunct combat infections.
