Bacteria of the Acinetobacter ACB complex, which are frequently found in hospital settings, can also be found in beef meat, according to an article on the Infection Control Today website.
A study led by ISGlobal, an institution supported by "la Caixa" and performed with meat samples from markets in Lima, Peru has suggested that raw meat can act as a reservoir for these pathogenic bacteria.
These bacteria have become a source hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) because of their resistance to antimicrobial drugs and disinfectants.
The results suggest that many microbes that infect humans can also be transmitted through contaminated food.
