Insects in confined swine operations carry a large antibiotic resistant and potentially virulent enterococcal community.

BMC microbiology - 26 Jan 2011

Ahmad Aqeel, Ghosh Anuradha, Schal Coby, Zurek Ludek

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Extensive use of antibiotics as growth promoters in the livestock industry constitutes strong selection pressure for evolution and selection of antibiotic resistant bacterial strains. Unfortunately, the microbial ecology and spread of these bacteria in the agricultural, urban, and suburban environments are poorly understood. Insects such as house flies (Musca domestica) and German cockroaches...
