...of
the 50 million pounds of antibiotics produced in the United
States, about 40 percent are given to animals, mostly as feed
additives to promote growth.

...public
health and consumer advocates, as well as some scientists, say
the FDA is not going far enough, because antibiotics are a precious
medical resource that should not be squandered to fatten animals.

...of
particular concern to scientists is that recent studies have
found bacteria in chickens that are resistant to fluoroquinolones,
the most recently approved class of antibiotics and one that
scientists had been hoping would remain effective for along
time....the state Health Department in Minnesota found that
fluoroquinolone-resistant campylobactor had increased from 1.3
percent of cases in 1992 to 10.2 percent in 1998. The sharpest
rise began in 1996, a year after fluoroquinolones were approved
for chickens.

...when
doctors prescribe antibiotics for minor infections or patients
fail to finish their medicines, microbes are coaxed more quickly
toward resistance. The same thing happens when farmers pump
livestock with antibiotics to promote growth.
