FDA Must Establish Limits for All Animal Antibiotics

Overview
Antibiotic use in any setting—including animal agriculture—contributes to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, a dangerous and growing global health threat.
1 Of particular concern is the overuse of medically important antibiotics—those that are also essential to human health care—in food animals, which accelerates the development of resistance to these critical drugs. Despite widespread agreement among animal and public health experts and clear guidance from the Food and Drug Administration that antibiotic use without limits is not judicious, 1 in 3 of such drugs approved for use in agriculture can be administered for excessively long or undefined periods of time.
