Nine of the world's most dangerous superbugs are among a "hotbed of Bacteria" on London's Tube network, scientists have warned. Dr Matewele added: "Bacteria from rodents like rats and mice were also found upon tube lines, along with bacteria found in faeces and bacteria from sewage. The Victoria line was the worst offender with 22 different types of bacteria found on board, including four of the world's most threatening bugs. They found 121 different bacteria and moulds in total, with the Underground the dirtiest way of travelling around the city. In total, nine bacteria from the World Health Organization's list of drug-resistant bacteria that pose the biggest threat to human health were found on the Tube.
