Antibiotic Resistance and the Use of Antibiotics in Animal Agriculture
July 14, 2010
“Antibiotics are a critical asset in our nation′s defense against infectious disease, and we need to take strong measures to ensure that we maintain their effectiveness. Since antimicrobial agents were first used widely in the last century, almost every type of clinically relevant bacteria has developed antibiotic resistance. This Subcommittee, and my colleagues at HHS, have rightly focused on elements of a comprehensive strategy –avoiding resistance that stems from over-use in both humans and animals, and developing new antibiotics. CDC continues to take steps to minimize inappropriate use of antibiotics in humans, and today’s hearing is an important opportunity to highlight the need for parallel steps to minimize inappropriate antibiotic use in animals ”
(Statement of Ali Khan, MD, MPH before the Subcommittee on Health; Committee on Energy & Commerce U.S. House of Representatives)
