Study reveals raw-type dog foods as a major source of multidrug-resistant bacteria that could potentially colonize humans

(European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases) New research due to be presented at this year's European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) reveals that raw-type dog foods contain high levels of multidrug-resistant bacteria, including those resistant to last-line antibiotics. The potential transfer of such bacteria between dogs and humans is an international public health risk.
