Dissemination of Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria into the Arctic

Puntos clave

Los puntos clave no están disponibles para este artículo en este momento.

Resumen

We show that Escherichia coli isolates originating from Arctic birds carry antimicrobial drug resistance determinants. This finding implies that dissemination of drug-resistant bacteria is worldwide. Resistance genes can be found even in a region where no selection pressure for resistance development exists.
