Realize most problem areas are hospitals and factory farms where antibiotics are everpresent. Allowing people to buy antibiotics when they feel it is appropriate is a far different animal and liable to do more good than harm. The usage will be diffuse and does not seem likely to lead to a resistant strain competitive enough to lead to multiple infections. The news article may be right, perhaps they clamped down on it. I am aware of people in the US buying aquarium or livestock antibiotics to treat themselves because healthcare is too expensive and time consuming.
