在与人类相关的细菌中，在临床分离株和研究较少的肠道植物群中，抗菌素耐药性很常见，人们认为肠道和环境细菌可能是耐药性的隐藏库。Gilliveret等人报告说，耐药性在英格兰西北部野生啮齿动物的粪便细菌中也很普遍。在这里，我们测试了芬兰的驼鹿，鹿和田鼠的粪便，发现肠杆菌几乎完全没有耐药性。因此，耐药性不是肠杆菌种群的普遍属性，但可能是人类使用抗生素的结果。
In bacteria associated with humans, antimicrobial resistance is common, both in clinical isolates and in the less-studied commensal flora, and it is thought that commensal and environmental bacteria might be a hidden reservoir of resistance. Gilliveret al.have reported that resistance is also prevalent in faecal bacteria from wild rodents living in northwest England. Here we test the faeces of moose, deer and vole in Finland and find an almost complete absence of resistance in enterobacteria. Resistance is thus not a universal property of enterobacterial populations, but may be a result of the human use of antibiotics.
