研究证实超级细菌可经动物传染至人类

    食品伙伴网讯   据美国食品安全新闻网消息，近日丹麦与英国科学家公布一项研究证实，超级细菌可经动物传染至人类。鉴于此，美国有议员呼吁加强对抗生素的管制。在该研究公布之前，也有美国研究验证了这个现象。

    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.
