Glyphosate Fueling Superbug Rise in Australia

Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description

Glyphosate, a common weedkiller, may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, or superbugs, in Australia. New research shows that glyphosate can make soil bacteria resistant to antibiotics, posing a global threat to modern medicine and family health. With glyphosate use on the rise in Australia, experts warn of potential risks, as bacteria evolving defenses against weedkillers could spread from farms to hospitals through wastewater and soil. Scientists urge caution with everyday use of glyphosate to curb superbug growth.
