You and your beloved pet have an unbreakable bond, but did you know you may also be sharing something else? Researchers have discovered that pets can pass on antibiotic-resistant bacteria to their owners. These bacteria can contain genes that make them super-bugs, capable of resisting the antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections. It’s like if your best friend gave you their secret recipe, but instead of cookies, it’s bacteria! This finding raises concerns about the spread of antibiotic resistance between humans and animals. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria acquire genetic mutations or exchange genes with other bacteria, allowing them to survive even when exposed to antibiotics. To learn more about this fascinating research and how it might affect your furry friend, dive into the underlying study!
Humans and their pets tend to share a tight bond, but they may also share antibiotic-resistant bacteria, new research shows. Even worse for humans is the fact that these bacteria may contain antibiotic-resistant genes that can make the bacteria they already have in their…
