研究发现,爱尔兰的天鹅携带与人类污染相关的抗药细菌。 Study finds swans in Ireland carrying drug-resistant bacteria linked to human pollution.

加尔韦大学的一项研究发现,在大都柏林和科基尔达尔的天鹅发现了高水平抗药性细菌,包括耐多种药物的E.大肠杆菌。 A University of Galway study found high levels of drug-resistant bacteria, including multi-drug resistant E. coli, in swans from Greater Dublin and Co Kildare. 在抽样的17只天鹅中,有11只携带了这些细菌,类似于那些造成难以治疗的人类感染的细菌。 Out of 17 swans sampled, 11 carried these bacteria, similar to those causing hard-to-treat human infections. 研究人员将细菌与废水等人类污染联系起来,并建议天鹅可能将这些“超级虫”传播到人类身上。 Researchers link the bacteria to human pollution, such as wastewater, and suggest swans may spread these "superbugs" to humans.
