Abstract

The article focuses on the use of antibiotics in agricultural animals and the appearance of multi-drug resistant bacterial strains. It states that several persuasive scientific studies since 1976 have illustrated how low-dose antibiotics propagate resistant bacteria. However, some researchers argue that removing anti-biotics on farm could affect the health of animals and economic loss.
