Description
Fahad, Sadeq, and Neamah track a food poisoning germ in Iraqi patients and market meat in twenty twenty-five. The germ makes toxins and shrugs off more drugs each year. Near two hundred samples split between clinics and meat stalls. Seventy-six grew the target germ.
Resistance to two common drugs topped eighty percent of strains. Resistance genes stacked up to eight in some strains. Toxin genes ran common, led by one near three quarters. Fingerprint tests showed near twin strains in meat and people. The team warns of cross spread and urges tighter drug and food hygiene rules.
