The `superbug' has arrived with Salmonella typhimurium DT (definitive type) 104 which is multiply-resistant to five antibiotics used in human therapy, being widely distributed in animal populations throughout the United States," reports Michael Doyle, head of the University of Georgia's Center for Food Safety and Quality Enhancement.
