[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1306728, member: 19938"] True Grit the point that I am trying to make is that antibiotic resistant strains are a very real threat to humans AND our livestock. Tetracycline and Penicillin (very commonly used in both livestock and humans) WERE some of our "big gun" antibiotics for humans. Now there is a lot of resistance to them leading to the need to develop bigger and better drugs. For as many new drugs that are coming out, even more bacteria are becoming resistant. There are already organisms that we just can not treat. It is happening in humans and in cattle. Some drugs we use for both, some we do not. That fact does not matter. Do I believe that resistance in humans is from eating meat from animals that were treated with antibiotics? No! But I do believe that the over use and uneducated use of antibiotics are creating "super bugs" that we won't be able to treat in both humans and animals. We already have it happening. [/QUOTE]
