Research shows agricultural fungicides drive evolution of multidrug resistance in soil microbes

Two newly published studies from Trinity College Dublin scientists raise significant concerns about the use of agricultural fungicides.That is because they show fungicides can rapidly drive soil microbes to evolve multidrug resistance to clinically important drugs and, when combined with warmer temperatures, disrupt soil microbes in ways that negatively affect plant growth.
