Summary:
Most analyses of how microbes come to laugh off the drugs and disinfectants that should kill them have focused on people in hospitals or livestock on farms, says Kathryn Arnold, a behavioral ecologist at the University of York in England. Yet a growing number of studies - in crows, elephant seals, voles and other wild animals - are raising big questions about where wildlife fits into the increasing threat of antimicrobial resistance. Genes for resistance are showing up in microbes flourishing in the guts and other parts of wild animals. How those genes get there and where they might now go needs serious attention.
"Wildlife Hosts Antimicrobial Resistance" is from the September 17, 2016 issue of Science News.
