Team tracks antibiotic resistance from swine farms to groundwater
Omschrijving
The routine use of antibiotics in swine production can have unintended consequences, with antibiotic resistance genes sometimes leaking from waste lagoons into groundwater. In a new study, researchers report that some genes found in hog waste lagoons are transferred -- "like batons" -- from one bacterial species to another. The researchers found that this migration across species and into new environments sometimes dilutes -- and sometimes amplifies -- genes conferring antibiotic resistance.
