And you'd assume that it developed its namesake resistance to methicilli...by being exposed to methicillin.

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

一项新研究发现刺猬还是西林（从青霉素提取一种抗生素）耐药源。

" … 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，我偶然发现了上世纪60年代一份旧研究，显示刺猬体内有种特殊真菌能产生与西林非常相似类似青霉素抗生素。”

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.

为了找出答案，拉森去了图书馆… 在那里，我偶然找到了一项20世纪60年代旧研究，这项研究展示了刺猬体内一种特定真菌能够产生一种类似青霉素抗生素，这种抗生素与西林非常相似。
