Climate Change Is Driving Antibiotic Resistance in Soils
The study has shown that as global temperatures rise, bacteria in soil are becoming more likely to carry genes that make them resistant to antibiotics.
The study, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, has shown that as global temperatures rise, bacteria in soil are becoming more likely to carry genes that make them resistant to antibiotics. This discovery is especially important because soil is a major reservoir of bacteria, many of which can transfer resistance genes to harmful bugs that infect humans and animals. The study found that climate warming is making soil bacteria more adaptable, more active and better equipped to survive medicines that are meant to kill them.
