Infectious diseases spread rapidly in amongst intensively farmed animals which is leading to the over-use of antibiotics by farmers on their animals. This has raised fears that antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria might develop which could infect humans. This is especially bad, as farmers are using some of our most potent antibiotics that we use as out last line of defence when others fail. If these antibiotics become useless then that is very bad. And the farmers are buying these antibiotics in off vets and using them in an unregulated way!
