Antibiotics Resistance Scare The misuse of antibiotic has led to the increase of antibiotics resistance in individuals. The public believes that medical professionals are to blame for the overuse of antibiotics but the agricultural sector should share some of the blame too. In the article by Jen Christensen “Pediatricians want farmers to use fewer antibiotics” (2015), her objective was to regulate the amount of antibiotics given to animals because of the after effect of consuming meat by humans. The after effect can be food poisoning and antibiotic resistant. A bacteria having antibiotic resistance means that the antibiotic no longer harms the bacteria or no longer reduce the bacteria load in the body.

This very fascinating fact can be a huge problem to the society, thereby creating a “societal problem”. Humans make up a society, in this society, humans tend to constantly interact with people, animals and objects while moving from place to place because of different occupational status, academic institution and leisure. We tend to come into contact with different types and strains of micro-organisms both good and bad by what we come into contact with and what we ingest. When food containing antibiotic resistance bacteria are ingested by humans, they either make you sick or just stay in the body, slowly affecting or changing the intestinal flora. Resistance bacteria in the human system tend to be passed out (excreted), and may find their way into the environment as waste. Bacteria are small and some retained their resistance ability. They do survive and can find their way into the soil and water supply, therefore infecting a whole new set of people in the community or effecting the different bacteria colony in the …show more content…
The agriculture sector, medical, manufacturers and as well as the community has to be constantly aware of the implication of the overuse and misuse of antibiotics. According to Dr. Thomas Frieden, "We talk about a pre-antibiotic era and an antibiotic era…If we 're not careful, we 'll be in a post-antibiotic era” (2013). This means that if the rate of antibiotic resistance is not slowed or reversed simple infectious disease that were long forgotten about and were easily cured will be the leading cause of
