Ted Schultz, insect specialist at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., notes that while humans must constantly invent new antibiotics to overcome drug - resistant germs, leaf cutters have been using the same antibiotic successfully for aeons.
Putukateadlane Ted Schultz Washingtoni loodusmuuseumist märgib, et samal ajal kui inimesed peavad pidevalt uusi antibiootikume valmistama, et saada jagu ravimiresistentsetest bakteritest, on sipelgad aastasadu edukalt tarvitanud ühte ja sama antibiootikumi.
