Do antibiotic residues in soils play a role in amplification and transmission of antibiotic resistant bacteria in cattle populations?

Abstract excerpt

When we consider factors that contribute to the emergence, amplification, and persistence of antibiotic resistant bacteria, the conventional assumption is that antibiotic use is the primary driver in these processes and that selection occurs primarily in the patient or animal. Evidence suggests that this may not always be the case. Experimental trials show that parenteral administration of a third-generation...
