Bacteria with the potential to affect humans and animals can cross oceans and continents through airborne dust, according to new research out of Israel.
"resulting in the introduction of dust-borne bacteria to previously pristine habitats, terrestrial and marine alike."
Scientists may be able to find other clues about the impacts these bacteria can have on their environments by better understanding their genes. The spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria could have potential impacts on the health of humans, livestock, plants, and ecosystems, the authors wrote, though it would depend on whether that bacteria is still alive and able to reproduce when it reaches its final destination. This could be a topic for future studies.
