These genes come from the cows’ gut bacteria, (and while none have yet been found) in superbugs that are infecting humans, researchers said the potential is real.

Obviously it does affect ESCU Professors.
The USA had better check Iran on enriching cow dung! Now that would be a dirty bomb!

Well, obviously the question is why are they being found?

Have cows always had these genes in their feces or has the use of antibiotics in feed, resulted in this? Are there cows somewhere isolated where they don't use antibiotics in feed that they can test as a control group?

The next question is can we eliminate these genes from the cow feces and reduce the risk that a super bug picks them up.

And of course the favorite, can we keep the beef clean?
