Before you start eating your favorite Emmental cheese, you should be aware of the potential risks that this brings with it. dairy product. A new (controversial) study claims that the consumption of cheese made from raw milk can contribute to deadly antibiotic resistance.
According to new reports from the World Health Organization, drug resistance is considered as great a threat to humanity as terrorism and global warming. Drug resistance turns seemingly harmless infections into deadly diseases.
A study by Swiss scientists found a new gene in dairy cows that is resistant to antibiotics and could further exacerbate the problem.
Known as Macrococcus caseolyticus, the seemingly harmless bacteria occur naturally on the skin of dairy cows and can spread during milking.
However, one of the genes in the strain, known as mecD, could endanger the beneficial bacteria used in 90% of antibiotic treatments, say researchers at the University of Bern.
The resistance gene can turn Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium found on human skin, into a deadly superb form, scientists say. The dangerous bacterium is killed with conventional antibiotics. According to the latest data, it infects about 2,800 people in Europe every year. While 10 years ago only 2% of cases were fatal, now this percentage has jumped to 30%.
The dangerous bacteria from dairy cows are usually destroyed by pasteurization, which means that milk consumers are not at risk. However, it survives in raw dairy products. Cheese and yellow cheese are most likely to be infected with these bacteria, scientists say. This makes these products potentially dangerous not only for the people who consume them, but for their generation, because the gene is passed from parents to children, say Swiss scientists.
