食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)美國食品安全新聞網(wǎng)消息，近日丹麥與英國科學家公布一項研究證實，超級細菌可經(jīng)動物傳染至人類。鑒于此，美國有議員呼吁加強對抗生素的管制。在該研究公布之前，也有美國研究驗證了這個現(xiàn)象。
Using whole genome sequencing, scientists have found conclusive evidence that a type of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus （MRSA） that caused human infections in Denmark came from livestock - adding to concerns that food animals are a significant MRSA reservoir for human infections.
While previous research has suggested that MRSA transfers from animals to humans, including a U.S. study last year that looked at "pig-MRSA," the study published this week in EMBO Molecular Medicine provides the strongest evidence to date that this phenomenon is occurring and provides fodder to those advocating for greater limits on antibiotics in agriculture.
