Newly Discovered Mutant Strains of Salmonella Prove to be More Aggressive Than Ever
A new study has uncovered a worrying development in the fight against salmonella infection. Researchers have found evidence of mutant strains of the bacteria that are more aggressive and resistant to antibiotics. This is a major concern as salmonella is a leading cause of foodborne illness, resulting in over one million cases of illness and 400 deaths per year in the United States alone. The new findings suggest that we may need to take a more proactive approach to fighting this infection if we are to effectively protect public health.
