wrong the over prescribing and agricultural use of antibiotics, started and was definitly more prevelant in the US. Largely due to wealth and availibility. And in fact ALL of the modern chemical agriculture practices that have "unintended consequences" got started in the US. Over use of pestisides, herbisides, and fertilisers. That other countrys followed after, at the prompting of US govrnment trade policy , and to the benifit of US industry, is hardly grounds to shift blame. What would be relevant, is a map, a nice interactive one, that overlayed profit flow, from the areas where "resistent strains" are found. This and many other of the worlds problems can be summed up, under the heading of "exporting contradictions" and reaping the profits. DDT is still made in the US, for export only.
