Maryn McKenna writing on her Superbug Blog today has the details of a new study out of the Netherlands which appears in the June edition of the CDC’s EID Journal that takes close look at the genetic make up of drug resistant E. Coli carried by chickens and that carried by humans.
As Maryn tells us – assuming this study is correct – this research would appear to provide additional support to many scientist’s concerns over a link between the use of antibiotics in agriculture and the emergence of resistant pathogens in humans.
The study may be read at:
Volume 17, Number 7–July 2011
Research
Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase Genes of Escherichia coli in Chicken Meat and Humans, the Netherlands
Ilse Overdevest, Ina Willemsen, Martine Rijnsburger, Andrew Eustace, Li Xu, Peter Hawkey, Max Heck, Paul Savelkoul, Christina Vandenbroucke-Grauls, Kim van der Zwaluw, Xander Huijsdens, and Jan Kluytmans
But for the short course, by a writer well-versed in the subject, I would refer you to Maryn’s article today.
