Dissemination of multidrug-resistant bacteria into the Arctic.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We show that Escherichia coli isolates originating from Arctic birds carry antimicrobial drug resistance determinants. This finding implies that dissemination of drug-resistant bacteria is worldwide. Resistance genes can be found even in a region where no selection pressure for resistance development exists.
