Dog and Human Health
People who let their dogs sleep with them or allow them to lick their faces are no more likely than other dog owners to have the same strains of E. coli bacteria as their dogs, a Kansas State University veterinarian reports.
Dr. Kate Stenske, a clinical assistant professor at the university’s College of Veterinary Medicine, said it’s known that diseases can be shared between dogs and people and that about 75 percent of emerging diseases are transferable between humans and other animals.
She decided to focus on E. coli, which is common in the gastrointestinal tracts of both humans and dogs.
For the study, Stenske analyzed fecal samples from dogs and their owners. She found that 10 percent of human-dog pairs had the same E. coil strains and that these strains were more resistant to common antibiotics than expected. However, owners had more multiple drug-resistant strains than their dogs.
"This makes us think that dogs are not likely to spread multiple drug-resistant E. coli to their owners, but perhaps owners may spread them to their dogs," Stenske said in a university news release. "What we learn from this is that antibiotics really do affect the bacteria within our gastrointestinal tract, and we should only take them when we really need to—and always finish the entire prescription as directed."
There was no evidence that owners who sleep with their dog or allow face licking were more likely to have shared strains of E. coli, according to the study, which was expected to be published in an upcoming issue of the American Journal of Veterinary Research.
However, the study did find an association between antibiotic-resistant E. coli and owners who didn’t wash their hands after petting their dogs or before cooking meals.
" We should use common sense and practice good general hygiene," Stenske advised.
She said the finding that close human-dog bonding behaviors aren’t more likely to spread germs is good news because of the physical and psychological benefits of pet ownership. Surveys show that nearly half of all dog owners share their food with their dogs, and more than half allow their dogs to sleep with them and lick their face.
" If you look at one study, 84 percent of people say their dog is like a child to them," Stenske added.
Future research might look at cat owners and shared E. coli. More Americans own cats than dogs, and cats interact with people in different ways than dogs, Stenske noted.
The study has brought good news to the dog-owners in that______.
选项
A、it allows dog-owners to maintain their intimate bond with dogs at ease
B、dogs and their owners can be immune from viruses if keeping intimate
C、dogs are more favorable than eats in mankind’s view
D、it proves that dogs are dirtier than what we have imagined
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。根据题干关键词good news定位到后三段。由倒数第三段第一句可知,人狗之间的亲密行为不会使传播细菌更容易这一发现是则好消息,这对宠物主人的身心都有好处。所以A为正确选项。B“如果关系亲密,狗和主人都可以不受细菌的侵扰”,与原文意思不符,故排除;最后一段讲的是猫与人的接触方式与狗不尽相同,并不是说人们更喜欢狗,故排除C;研究证实狗比我们想象的要脏,与原文意思相反,故排除D。
