This week on Tales of the Resistance we continue our multi-week discussion on questions brought to us by our audience! Today, we'll tackle these questions: Is it true that meat purchased from supermarkets contains antibiotic resistance bacteria? Is antimicrobial use in farm animals responsible for the spread of resistance bacteria? Who is responsible for approving the use of agricultural antimicrobials?
