Droughts Are The Ideal Breeding Ground For Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria, Study Warns
Sănătate
Increasing droughts due to global climate change may be creating the perfect conditions for antibiotic-resistant bacteria to evolve, according to a new study. Excessive use of antibiotics in medicine, it seems, is not the only factor driving resistant bugs. The new research also suggests that what's happening outside hospitals, in the Earth's soil, could impact antibiotic resistance within healthcare settings, too. The study, from researchers at the California Institute of Technology (CIT),
