来自罗马尼亚冰洞的5 000年细菌由于自然进化而抵抗现代抗生素,这为新治疗提供了潜力,但引起了人们对冰川融化扩散抗生素的担忧。
A 5,000-year-old bacterium from Romania’s ice cave resists modern antibiotics due to natural evolution, offering potential for new treatments but raising concerns about melting glaciers spreading resistance.
在罗马尼亚的Scarisoara冰洞中发现的5 000年的细菌Mitchrobacter SC65A.3,尽管从未接触过人造药物,但至少对10种现代抗生素表现出抗药性。
A 5,000-year-old bacterium, Psychrobacter SC65A.3, discovered in Romania’s Scarisoara Ice Cave, exhibits resistance to at least 10 modern antibiotics despite never being exposed to human-made drugs.
微生物在25米长的冰芯中 携带了100多个抗微生物抗药性基因 并能够抑制危险的病原体 比如Staphylococcus Aureus 和 E. Coli
Found in a 25-meter ice core, the microbe carries over 100 antimicrobial resistance genes and can inhibit dangerous pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli.
研究人员认为抗药性通过古代微生物战自然演变而来, 而不是人类抗生素使用。
Researchers believe resistance evolved naturally through ancient microbial warfare, not human antibiotic use.
细菌会产生有可能治疗抗药性感染的化合物,为新的抗生素带来希望。
The bacterium produces compounds with potential to treat drug-resistant infections, offering hope for new antibiotics.
然而,冰川融化可能会将此类微生物及其基因释放到现代生态系统中,有可能加剧全球抗生素抗药性危机。
However, melting glaciers could release such microbes and their genes into modern ecosystems, potentially worsening the global antibiotic resistance crisis.
