Resistencia a los antibióticos en las aves del Ártico

Más noticias de la universidad de Uppsala: con motivo de un estudio de aves de la tundra ártica han descubierto la presencia en sus organismos de bacterias resistentes a los antibióticos.

Copio y pego:

"We already knew that birds in the Western world can be carriers of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, but it's alarming to find that these bacteria exist among birds out on the tundra," says Jonas Bonnedahl, a physician infectious specializing in infectious diseases in Kalmar and one of those participating in the expedition.

"Our findings show that resistance to antibiotics is not limited to society and hospitals but is now spreading into the wild. Escalating resistance to antibiotics over the last few years has crystallized into one of the greatest threats to well-functioning health care in the future."
