18. Health care professionals are concerned over the rise in antibiotic resistant bacterial strains. Exposure to antibiotics presents a selective environment that favors the evolution of resistance in bacteria. Which lines of evidence suggest that antibiotic resistance evolved a long time ago in bacteria (pre-dating the use of antibiotics by humans)? How and why has antibiotic resistance evolved in bacteria prior to exposure to antibiotic use by humans? What role does exposure to modern antibiotics play in the evolution of antibiotic resistance genes and mechanisms? Based upon the study by Baym et al. 2016, how does the evolution of antibiotic resistance in different bacterial strains inform drug discovery and better design of antibiotics and antimicrobials for human pathogens?

Deadly "super bacteria" are the outcome of decades of antibiotic overuse. The same antibiotics used to treat bacterial infection in people also help sick animals. On many farms, these antibiotics are used on a daily basis to prevent infection of healthy animals. This practice may have contributed to evolution of the new antibiotic-resistant human pathogens. One suggestion is to ban the preventive use of antibiotics that are of value to humans in farm animals. Would you support such a ban?What are the strongest arguments for banning the preventive use of antibiotics that are of value to humans in farm animals? What is the evidence that the use of antibiotics in livestock is contributing to the development of antibiotic-resistant human pathogens?What are the strongest arguments against banning the preventive use of antibiotics that are of value to humans in farm animals? What are the benefits of using preventive antibiotics? Should the animal husbandry practice of repeated dosing of healthy animals with antibiotics stop?
