Warning as deadly cattle-borne superbug is spreading to humans | 23 Aug 2025 | A dangerous superbug commonly found in cattle can jump to humans, and researchers warn that infections may soon become untreatable. A team from Penn State University discovered that Salmonella Dublin has become increasingly resistant to antibiotics and is spreading to humans through contaminated beef, milk, or cheese, or through direct contact with infected cows. Researchers studied 2,150 Salmonella Dublin strains from cattle, humans, and the environment and found they were all genetically similar, making it easier for the bacteria to spread across species. This bacterium typically causes severe illness or death among cows, but it can also result in serious blood infections among people, especially those in close contact with farm animals.
