Dutch healthcare workers worried about Ukrainian soldiers potentially bringing SUPERBUGS into Europe
09/10/2024 / By Zoey Sky
Several European hospitals are on alert due to an alarming sudden increase in antibiotic-resistant infections among Ukrainian patients.
The infections can’t be treated with common antibiotics and have been linked to poor health care and the overuse of antibiotics in Ukraine. Reports have warned that the spread of these superbugs could pose a serious threat to public health across Europe.
Experts are also worried that these resistance patterns might be linked to possible experimental biological testing on Ukrainian soldiers, which has also sparked worries about a secret bioweapons program.
The superbugs are often found in Ukrainian soldiers undergoing treatment in the Netherlands, and healthcare workers are worried that they can be transmitted to Dutch patients who were previously unexposed to infections.

Experts have also suggested that Ukrainian soldiers carry superbugs because Ukrainian doctors often prescribe antibiotics to patients, unlike their Dutch counterparts.
According to reports, these superbug infections have occurred at least “three times between February 2022 and August 2023.”
The first case was announced in a research letter for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Germany in August 2023, when a Ukrainian soldier was diagnosed with several dangerous infections that were not treatable with antibiotics.
According to the German CDC report, the first case was officially registered in Germany. The injured Ukrainian soldier was first taken from Dnipro to Kyiv. He was later taken to an American military hospital in Germany, where he was tested for infections and the unexpected discovery was made.
Doctors took blood, urine, respiratory and peri-rectal surveillance cultures from the patient. Surveillance cultures grew A. baumannii, Enterococcus faecium, Klebsiella pneumoniae and two distinct morphologies of P. aeruginosa.
The paper also revealed that blood cultures grew a third P. aeruginosa. Using the Vitek 2 automated system, doctors found that the gram-negative organisms were “non-susceptible to almost every antibiotic tested.”
Ukrainian soldiers carrying different types of resistant bacteria
Data from the National Coordination Center for Patient Distribution also revealed that Dutch hospitals have treated 143 Ukrainian soldiers since the start of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Some of the soldiers have been treated for serious injuries.
A Dutch clinical microbiologist warned that it is unprecedented for the Netherlands to “see how many different types of resistant bacteria they already carry with them.”
Russia has repeatedly claimed that the U.S. was conducting illegal research in biolabs across Ukraine and other countries near Russian borders.
Meanwhile, Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops said that Washington is working on a “universal” genetically engineered bioweapon designed to cause severe damage to enemies comparable to that of a “nuclear winter.”
According to a report from Russia’s Ministry of Defense, Ukrainian military personnel were allegedly involved in experiments designed to detect the body’s tolerance for dangerous infectious diseases. The experiments included injecting test subjects with “higher doses of antibiotics, which, in turn, lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms in their bodies.”
