New research has highlighted a potential connection between global climate change and the prevalence of antimicrobial resistant Salmonella. By examining over 236,700 genomes from 139 different countries and regions, scientists tracked trends spanning from 1940 to 2023.
According to Food Safety News, the researchers utilised annual rainfall levels and mean temperatures as primary indicators of climatic shifts. The findings suggest that these environmental factors could play a role in how the bacteria evolve and resist treatment.
