Description

Andreia Garcês and Isabel Pires review what is known about drug-resistant bacteria living inside Europe's wild carnivores, in this 2023 review. Resistance is usually seen as a hospital and farm problem. Wolves, foxes, otters, and bears, though, can carry resistant strains too.

Wild meat-eaters meet these drugs through tainted food and water, contact with farm stock and pets, and human activity in their home ground. Once they carry the strains, they hold the germs and move them across wide landscapes. That harms wild nature, makes guarding species at risk harder, and can loop back to people through shared ground and through germs that pass from beasts to humans. The review gathers the proof spread across Europe, species by species. Its point: keeping watch on wildlife belongs in any serious plan against drug resistance.
