The SafePork conference series began in 1996 to bring together international researchers, industry, and government agencies to discuss current Salmonella research and identify research needs pertaining to both pig and pork production. In subsequent years topics of research presented at these conferences expanded to include other chemical and biological hazards to pig and pork production.

Abstract
In the framework of the National Zoonoses Monitoring in Germany, E. coli from pigs and pork as well as from wild boar meat have been tested for their resistance to a panel of 14 antimicrobials using the broth microdilution method according to CLSI. The determined minimum inhibitory concentrations were evaluated based on the epidemiological cut-off values as provided by EUCAST.
