Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Linked to Seagulls in Miami Beach
Loading...
Uploaded by MicrobeWorld on Sep 17, 2011
Extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL's) are enzymes that enable bacteria to resist multiple antibiotics. In the past few years ESBL-producing enteric bacteria (such as E. coli) have become an increasingly common cause of community acquired infections worldwide. The source of these organisms in the community still remains unclear; however, recent reports link wild animals and water reservoirs to their spread. Researchers will present research showing 8 percent of the enteric bacteria isolated from Miami Beach seagulls were positive for ESBL production suggesting these birds play a role in disseminating these bacteria in the environment.
