Something I realized by travelling to Indonesia is that people in developing countries take antibiotics a lot (you can buy Cipro as easily as buying Tylenol in the U.S.) and that they really do need them because they get bacterial infections from bad food or water a lot. It seems like the best thing to do to prevent human over-use of antibiotics would be to convince developing countries to impose stricter food handling regulations and assist them in upgrading their water and sewer infrastructure so that the water that comes from a faucet is safe to drink. If people don't get sick in the first place, they don't need antibiotics.
