i, for one, am glad our regulatory agencies are taking swift action to address such vital areas of concern as antibiotic resistance. if they start cracking down on livestock production facilities maybe there will even be a chance that these new suggestions are worried about briefly in the moments before an inspector arrives

I agree the fact that new studies are showing the possibility of animals transmitting MRSA to humans is pretty scary if you're a farmer. I wonder why the article doesn't go so far as to name "MRSA."

I read another study that stated more humans are dying from MRSA/staph than from AIDS now.

Lastly, didn't Europe do this back in 2006?
