Dangers of Antibiotics in the Chicken Industry — Interview with Maryn McKenna
2018 Interview
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect 25% to 60% of women during their lifetime, with hospitalization rates in the U.S. increasing by 52% between 1998 and 2011 due to rising antimicrobial resistance. Researchers attribute the high recurrence rate of UTIs in postmenopausal women to infections caused by various pathogens deeply embedded in tissue, making them more resistant to treatment. Besides E. coli, urine samples often contain Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterococcus faecalis, while biopsies reveal E. coli, Staphylococcus hominis, and Bacillus firmus. E. coli, which normally resides in the intestinal tract, is responsible for 80% to 90% of UTIs, posing a problem when it proliferates in the urinary system. Recent studies show a significant link between UTI-causing drug-resistant E. coli in humans and contaminated chicken, with research from the U.S., Canada, and Europe confirming genetic matches between the bacteria found in patients and those on poultry.
