Article Synopsis
- - Wild boars in Italy, particularly in the Emilia-Romagna region, are being exposed to antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria due to surrounding intensive animal farming practices.
- - A study collected samples from 108 wild boars, finding one strain (WB-21L) that was confirmed to produce ESBL, a type of enzyme associated with antibiotic resistance, and exhibited multi-resistance to several antibiotics.
- - The research highlights the potential risk of ESBL-producing bacteria being transmitted to those who handle or consume game meat, indicating a need for future studies on the sources of AMR in wildlife.
