NewsGull droppings undermine efforts to control spread of colistin-resistance genes
Gull droppings at beaches in the Porto region of Portugal are riddled with bacteria that are resistant to the ‘last-resort’ antibiotic colistin, undermining efforts in the livestock sector to reduce colistin-resistance, according to a paper published in Environmental Microbiology, an Applied Microbiology International publication. Researchers at the ...
