Deadly “super bacteria” are the outcome of decades of antibiotic overuse. The same antibiotics used to treat bacterial infection in people also help sick animals. On many farms, these antibiotics are used on a daily basis to prevent infection of healthy animals. This practice may have contributed to evolution of the new antibiotic-resistant human pathogens. One suggestion is to ban the preventive use of antibiotics that are of value to humans in farm animals. Would you support such a ban? What are the strongest arguments for banning the preventive use of antibiotics that are of value to humans in farm animals? What is the evidence that the use of antibiotics in livestock is contributing to the development of antibiotic-resistant human pathogens? What are the strongest arguments against banning the preventive use of antibiotics that are of value to humans in farm animals? What are the benefits of using preventive antibiotics? Should the animal husbandry practice of repeated dosing of healthy animals with antibiotics stop?
