Antibiotic-resistant 'superbugs' are being passed from pets to humans
When it comes to the immune system, you probably think of hospitals and clinics, but a new study shows the problem may be right in your living room, inside your favorite pets.
Antibiotics have changed our world and saved many lives from deadly diseases. But an unseen threat lurks in the background: antibiotics.
This happens when bacteria find ways to evade drugs designed to kill them. These “superbugs” are becoming increasingly difficult and versatile to treat.
Infectious diseases between animals and hosts
Scientists in Portugal and the UK present a study with implications: Our animals can cause infection in the immune system.
The study presented at the ESCMID Global Congress revealed that sick dogs and cats with immune systems can transmit these diseases to their friends. The owner is in good health.
This discovery sheds new light on the big problem with anti-inflammatory drugs. The World Health Organization emphasizes the urgency of this global threat and estimates that unless prioritized, the vaccine will kill 10 million people a year from 2050.
Animals, bacteria and superbugs
When bacteria are repeatedly exposed to antibiotics, they change the way they survive against chemicals designed to destroy them. This can create "superbugs" that are difficult to treat with existing drugs.
