Superbug detected at two Galway beaches

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Researchers are raising fresh concerns about the risks of pumping raw sewage into the waters around Ireland.

Galway scientists say the NDM enzyme - which is a form of superbug which can be resistant to the most powerful antibiotics - has been detected at two unnamed beaches in Galway.

The discovery at the two adjacent beaches is thought to be a first for European bathing water.

However, there's no evidence anyone has been infected by exposure to the enzyme.
