Glyphosate Could Be Boosting Spread of Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria
Researchers in Buenos Aires discovered that multidrug‑resistant bacteria from Argentine hospitals are also highly resistant to glyphosate, a widely used herbicide.

The study raises concerns that glyphosate exposure in wastewater or soils could select for bacteria that survive both antibiotics and herbicides. Further work is needed to confirm causality and assess real‑world glyphosate concentrations.
