Climate change fuelling growth of antibiotic-resistant salmonella
A recent study links climate change to a rise in antibiotic-resistant salmonella, with a 10 percent increase in resistance genes attributed to changing environmental conditions. The research analyzed over 480,000 salmonella genomes from 139 countries and found significant associations between climate factors and antimicrobial resistance. The findings emphasize the need for climate action and responsible antibiotic use to combat this growing public health threat.
- ▪The abundance of antimicrobial-resistance genes in salmonella has increased by 38 percent globally since 1940.
- ▪Climate change is responsible for 10 percent of this rise, with higher temperatures and extreme weather events accelerating the spread of resistance.
- ▪The study indicates that if low-emission climate targets are met, levels of resistance genes could be reduced by 24 percent compared to high-emission scenarios.
