Antimicrobial resistance in foodborne pathogens represents a critical global health challenge, with food handlers serving as key contributors their transmission. This comprehensive review synthesizes evidence on the prevalence, transmission dynamics, and antimicrobial patterns of three major pathogens, Staphylococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Salmonella among worldwide. Analysis studies across diverse geographical regions reveals considerable variation colonization rates, spp. prevalence ranging from 19.5% to 95.0%, coli 2.8% 89.3%, 0.07% 9.1%. Resistance profiles demonstrate alarming trends, including widespread β-lactam emerging last-resort antibiotics like carbapenems. Particularly concerning is high occurrence multidrug resistant (MDR) strains extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producers low- middle-income countries. identified inadequate handwashing, poor hygiene infrastructure, asymptomatic carriage factors facilitating strains. These findings underscore urgent need for enhanced surveillance systems, targeted decolonization strategies, improved protocols, handler education mitigate spread through chain.
