The concern is not the antibiotic, it's the bacteria made resistant to that antibiotic that doesn't get killed after cooking inadequately.

- CamperBob2 9y agoSorry, I'm just not seeing the connection here. How much overlap is there between the set of zoonotic diseases (those transmitted from animals to humans), and diseases where antibiotic resistance is a concern?
- Fomite 9y agoA tremendous amount. Just to name a few potentially found in food: E. coli, Salmonella, C. difficile (though resistance in C. difficile is...funny), Listeria, Shigella and Staphylococcus all come to mind off the top of my head. CDC even has a nice little infographic on it. https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/challenges/from-farm-to-table.html https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/challenges/from-farm-to-table...
