Now, a new study says that they are also the origin of resistance to methicillin, an antibiotic derived from penicillin.

一项新研刺猬还是甲氧西林（从青霉素提取的一种抗生素）耐药性的来源。

" … where I came across an old study from the 1960s which showed that a particular fungus in hedgehogs is able to produce a penicillin-like antibiotic that is very similar to methicillin."

“在那里，我偶然了上世纪60年代一份旧研，显示刺猬体内有种特殊真菌能产生与甲氧西林非常相似的类似青霉素的抗生素。”

To find out, Larsen went to the library… … where I came across an old study from the 1960s which showed that a particular fungus in hedgehogs is able to produce a penicillin-like antibiotic that is very similar to methicillin.
