Assessment of phenotypic carbapenem susceptibility and genomic epidemiology of Campylobacter from animal, food and human domains - “CarbaCamp”

Emerging evidence of carbapenem non‐susceptibility led to the EFSA recommendation to include ertapenem in the resistance monitoring of Campylobacter from 2021. The CarbaCamp project investigated carbapenem susceptibility in C. coli and C. jejuni populations from food animal surveillance contexts as well as of human origin. A total of 2,315 isolates from 16 European countries were requested, of which 1,889 were tested by disc diffusion (DD).

Considerations on the risk assessment of genetically modified plants containing transformation events stacked by conventional crossing

Following a mandate from EFSA, the EFSA Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO Panel) addressed the food and feed risk assessment of genetically modified plants containing stacked transformation events (‘stacks’). The GMO Panel examined the experience gained in the assessment of stacks in the last 20 years. Based on this, the GMO Panel concluded that under specific conditions, field trials for comparative analysis may not always be required for the assessment of stacks and a derogation may
