Rats, too, were more susceptible to staph if fed triclosan.

如果喂食含有三氯生的饲料给老鼠，它们也呈现出更容易被金黄色葡萄球菌感染的情况。

But here's the weird thing—those triclosan residues may actually boost bacterial growth in our bodies.

但是更奇怪的事情其实是—这些三氯生残基也许能促进体内细菌的生长。

So it's not too surprising that triclosan also shows up in blood, urine, breast milk and mucus.

In toothpaste products, triclosan helps to prevent a build-up of plaque bacteria in the mouth.

37 of the 90 tested positive for triclosan—and those who did were twice as likely to have the bug Staphylococcus aureus living in their noses.

其中有37份对三氯生检测呈阳性—这些阳性样本中本人鼻腔中的金黄色葡萄球菌也是其他人中的两倍。
