Antibiotics are more commonly used in agriculture than in man : Antibiotic overuse creates resistant bacterial strains (straightforward natural selection ) that then cause a problem in the human population and in the clinic.Similarly, beware of killing 99% of all known germs. The 1% that remain are resistant.
