antibiotics (natamycin, in particular) are now routinely used in packaged shredded cheese, to inhibit mold growth.
A sustained low-level dose of antibiotic is proven to foster antibiotic resistance.
- arpa 9y agoAs the name (*mycin) (and purpose!) suggests, that's not an antibiotic, but rather antimycotic (anti-fungal) substance: antibiotics target microorganisms (i.e. bacteria), while antimycotics target fungi, a completely different _kingdom_. Sorry, but your comment is completely wrong.
