The use of antimicrobials in animal agriculture is eroding physicians' ability to treat infectious disease in humans. This report provides the first estimate based on a transparent methodology of the amount of antimicrobials given to animals for nontherapeutic purposes, such as promoting growth. The amount is enormous, dwarfing the quantity of antimicrobials in human medicine. By Margaret Mellon, Charles Benbrook, and Karen Lutz Benbrook. UCS, 2001.</P>
