Antimicrobial Resistance Animation of Antimicrobial Resistance
This animation was produced by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) as part of their veterinary information. The animation will reinforce things we have talked about in class with a different perspective. The twist is that we can consume pathogens from the foods we eat that could be antibiotic resistant due to the use of antibiotics in animals we consume.
Reflect on the following: What came first antibiotic resistance or the overuse of antibiotics? What is the relationship between the two? How can we reduce the development of resistant organisms? Finally, how does Horizontal Gene Transfer come in to play?
