@DrBird735 not to mention the use of antibacterial soaps and cleaners. All of these play a factor.

@DrBird735 both the use of antibiotics in animals (that we consume) and the misuse of Rx antibiotics are leading to bacteria like MRSA and VRSA

With only 2% of the US population actively involved in food production and even a smaller percentage involved with animal production, it is difficult to see connection between food animal antibiotic use and MRSA. USDA/FDA tests for residues in animal tissues, and invokes withdrawal of therapeutics prior to slaughter. I would rather examine the use/over use of prescription antibiotics dispensed for viral ailments in humans when we know it does not help. GM., MBA, PHD.
