Description
Sick farm animals in Taiwan can carry gut germs that shrug off strong drugs, and Nan-Ling Kuan and co-authors checked how widespread that trait is in work from twenty twenty-four. Samples came from pigs, cattle, and goats with loose stools, plus birds with a gut illness. Lab tests sorted which germs could break the strong drugs.
About one in eight farm samples and one in twelve bird samples made the drug-breaking trait. Pigs were hit hardest among farm stock, and chickens most among birds. One gene type turned up most often in both groups. All trait carriers passed the gene to a test germ in the lab, which shows how fast it can spread. The authors warn that food animals form a real store of drug-proof germs.
