Researchers Monitor the Growth of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria in Waterways
Although Milwaukee faces challenges keeping its water clean, the city also boasts a high concentration of freshwater experts.
Recent work from these scientists highlights an emerging threat — the persistence of antibiotics and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in our waterways.
Antibiotics get through wastewater systems that were never designed to cope with them and could be fostering drug resistance, increasing the likelihood that swimmers will contract a drug-resistant infection. New procedures are being developed to maintain safe water conditions.
