Anti-biotics and hormones get vote of confidence of top scientists
"In 50 years of antibiotic use in animals and man, the development of resistance in animals has not made a major impact on human and animal health, and such a development seems unlikely to happen overnight now," said Dr Ian Phillips, Emeritus Professor of Medical Microbiology at the medical school of Guy's and St. Thomas' Hospitals at the University of London.
Dr Phillips chaired a group of experts who released their findings at the 42nd Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) in the US.
