"We're up for the challenge!" -The livestock industry, probably

Oh man I could go into a poorly remembered rant I've heard from people with pharmacy doctorates on antibiotics, resistance, and generations. Always good to have more tools and Pharmacist seem keen on using the right one for the job when it comes to antibiotics.

Seems to me that the importance of pharmacists using antibiotics correctly is dwarfed by the importance of getting the livestock industry to quit misusing them.

Wow it's almost like more than most pharmacists don't work in the livestock industry.

Resistance is not the most concerning aspect of antibiotics, despite it being the most covered in the news. We need to be moving away from antibiotics. https://humanmicrobiome.info/antibiotics/#harms-of-antibiotics

It's quite depressing to continually see this blind focus on resistance and more & new antibiotics.
