Genes that make bacteria resistant to antibiotics are much more widespread in our environment than was previously realized. A new study published in Microbiome by researchers from Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg in Sweden shows that bacteria in almost all environments carry resistance genes, with a risk of them spreading and aggravating the problem of bacterial infections that are untreatable with antibiotics.
