The most advanced methods of mass production employ harmful antibiotics and genetically modified feed in unnaturally crowded ponds on land.

The development of new countermeasures, from diagnostics to antibiotics and antivirals to respirators, will help protect human lives in the face of new bugs and superbugs.

and inserted requirements that drive up the cost of developing new antibiotics. A robust public health system is only as strong as the tools available,

The use of hormones, antibiotics and pesticides, as well as animal diseases and even terrorism pose risks. What steps would you take to ensure the health, safety and productivity of America s food supply?

and minimize pesticides and antibiotics in our food. I set the ambitious goal to increase the number of certified organic operations by 20 percent â oe

And my administration is taking steps to limit antibiotic use for livestock. This will help ensure that antibiotics are used only address diseases and health problems

and not for enhancing growth and other production purposes. And I will continue to work on food safety issues to ensure that public health is the priority in our food safety system.

My question to you is do you have antibiotics that kill resistant bacteria's and viruses?

i have nearly 50 different organic antibiotics and all i ever get is slag from online posters when

#Lack of energy an enemy to antibiotic-resistant microbesrice University researchers cured a strain of bacteria of its ability to resist an antibiotic in an experiment that has implications for a longstanding public health crisis. Rice environmental engineer Pedro Alvarez

and his team managed to remove the ability of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa microorganism to resist the antibiotic medication tetracycline by limiting its access to food and oxygen.

and often transmissible DNA element--that allows it to resist tetracycline. The researchers'results reported this month in the American Chemical Society journal Environmental science

and Technology are the latest in a long effort to understand the environmental aspects of antibiotic resistance which threatens decades of progress in fighting disease.

The propagation of antibiotic resistance has been perceived as a medical or microbiology-related problem Alvarez said.

A lot of the antibiotic-resistant bacteria originate in animal agriculture where there is overuse misuse and abuse of antibiotics.

Alvarez contended that confined animal feeding operations (CAFOS) are potential sources of environmental contamination by antibiotics

and the associated antibiotic-resistant genes that find their way into the ground water and ultimately the food supply.

We started with the hypothesis that microbes don't like to carry excess baggage he said. That means they will drop genes they're not using

and/or oxygen through successive generations they found that in the absence of tetracycline both microbes dumped the resistance plasmid though not entirely in the case of E coli.

which made it susceptible once again to antibiotics. When a high level of tetracycline was present both microbes retained a level of resistance One long-recognized problem with antibiotics is that they tend to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

If any antibiotic-resistant bacteria are part of a biological mix whether in a person an animal or in the environment the weak microbes will die

and the resistant will survive and propagate; this process is known by biologists as selective pressure.

If we can put an anaerobic barrier at the point where a lagoon drains into the environment we will essentially exert selective pressure for the loss of antibiotic-resistant genes

His study of the Haihe River in China funded by the Chinese government and published last year found tetracycline resistance genes are common in the environment there as well.
