Recent research presented at the ESCMID Global Congress revealed concerning findings regarding the presence of high levels of antibiotic-resistant E. coli in uncooked meats and raw dog food sold in grocery stores in the U.K. The study conducted by the University of Bristol examined samples of raw beef, chicken, pork, and lamb, as well as raw dog food, with alarming results.
The study found that a significant percentage of the meat samples, as well as the dog food samples, contained E. coli that was resistant to antibiotics. Notably, raw chicken exhibited the highest levels of the resistant intestinal bacteria, highlighting a potential health risk associated with consuming such products.
