Antibiotics for Animals: The Antibiotic Resistance Issue

Suspending subtherapeutic use of antibiotics would not eliminate the transfer of antibiotic-resistant intestinal bacteria from animals to humans. The main problem appears to be the disease-causing bacteria, not their resistance or nonresistance to one or more antibiotics. Authors: Virgil W. Hays, University of Kentucky, Lexington, and Charles A. Black, Iowa State University, Ames.
