Article Synopsis
- Manure from farm animals can release antibiotic-resistant bacteria into the air, which can be a risk to human and animal health due to heavy antibiotic use in farming.
- The study tested the impact of various manure types and spreading methods in a controlled setting, finding that poultry manure produced the highest levels of airborne bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes.
- Results indicate that both the type of manure and the equipment used for spreading significantly influence the emission rates of these harmful bacteria and resistance genes.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is continuing to grow across the world. Though often thought of as a mostly public health issue, AMR is also a major agricultural and environmental problem. As such, many researchers refer to it as the preeminent One Health issue.
