Wild birds have been postulated as sentinels, reservoirs, and potential spreaders of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have been isolated from a multitude of wild bird species. Several studies strongly indicate transmission of resistant bacteria from human rest products to wild birds. There is evidence suggesting that wild birds can spread resistant bacteria through migration and that resistant bacteria can be transmitted from birds to humans and vice versa. Through further studies of the spatial and temporal distribution of resistant bacteria in wild birds, we can better assess their role and thereby help to mitigate the increasing global problem of antibiotic resistance.
野生鸟类被认为是抗生素耐药性的哨兵、储层和潜在传播者。已经从多种野生鸟类物种中分离出了抗药性细菌。多项研究强烈表明,耐药细菌从人类粪便传播到野生鸟类。有证据表明,野生鸟类可以通过迁徙传播耐药细菌,耐药细菌也可以从鸟类传播到人类,反之亦然。通过进一步研究野生鸟类中耐药细菌的时空分布,我们可以更好地评估它们的作用,从而有助于减轻日益严重的全球抗生素耐药性问题。
