A group of researchers from the University of Santiago de Compostela and Lugo has recently traveled to Copenhagen to present a study at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. 100 meat products (chicken, turkey, beef and pork) chosen at random in supermarkets have been analyzed and "bad bugs" have been found in no less than 40% of the samples.
The researchers point out that, although more attention is usually paid to controlling the presence of "walking around the house" bacteria, it is very important to control multiresistant bacteria.
