Antibiotic-free poultry production: Is it sustainable? (2015, background): “There is growing acknowledgement that use of antibiotics in people is the primary driver of antibiotic-resistant infections in humans [1, 7–9], however, antibiotic-free production of poultry has become increasingly popular.”
Antibiotic growth promoters in agriculture: history and mode of action. (2005, background): “In fact the relationship is still under vigorous debate (Alpharma, 2004; Dawe, 2004, Phillips et al., 2004; Vaughn and Copeland, 2004).”
Food Animals and Antimicrobials: Impacts on Human Health (2011, background): “For instance, within the past 5 years, MRSA and MDR Staphylococcus aureus have been reported in 25 to 50% of swine and veal calves in Europe, Canada, and the United States (51, 78, 101, 114).”
Pet animals as reservoirs of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. (2004, background): “However, some authors have recently questioned the hazard to human health caused by the use of antimicrobials in food animals.(3) Resistant bacteria might be acquired by humans through alternative pathways such as person-to-person transmission, environmental exposure and direct exposure to animals.”
Probiotics in aquaculture: The need, principles and mechanisms of action and screening processes (2008, background): “Certain ADs have been shown to positively influence growth of livestock and used widely (Acar et al., 2000; Witte, 2000; Wierup, 2001; Phillips et al., 2004).”
Nanoparticles as Adsorbent; A Positive Approach for Removal of Noxious Metal Ions: A Review (2015, background): “…nature as comparable to other water contaminants, metal ions can cause brutal health troubles for aquatic fauna as well as flora but it also troubles human health through the prevailing ecological food chain (Lundberg et al., 2004; Phillips et al., 2004; Wu et al., 1999; Singh et al., 2010).”
Labeling Food Processes: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (2017, background): “A reasonable argument for mandatory labeling could be made for the use of subtherapeutic antibiotics in animal feed, as resistances developed in animal husbandry could be transferred to human pathogens (Witte 1998), but current evidence suggests that the risk is small (Phillips et al. 2004).”
Antibiotic Use in Agriculture and Its Consequential Resistance in Environmental Sources: Potential Public Health Implications (2018, background): “, and Escherichia coli, it is somewhat obvious that antibiotic resistance can be transferred from animals to humans [121].”
Occurrence, fate, and ecotoxicity of antibiotics in agro-ecosystems. A review (2011, background): “Subsequently, about 30–90% antibiotic doses to humans and animals, both unaltered and their metabolites, were excreted and released together with urine and feces after medication for incomplete absorption (Halling-Sørensen et al. 1998; Alcock et al. 1999; Winckler and Grafe 2001; Jjemba 2002a, b; He”
