  3. EU officials confirm a ban on Brazilian meat and dairy amid health concerns.

    The EU’s ban on imports of Brazilian meat and other animal products from Thursday could be short-lived if audits later this week confirm compliance with EU standards — but European officials cautioned against expecting an “early result”.

"The use of #antibiotics on #livestock will rise by nearly a third in the next 15 years without #Government #intervention, according to new global estimates, with potentially disastrous #impacts on #human #resistance to essential #medicines." The @guardian means #bacterial resistance to medicines used to treat human & #veterinary #diseases!

  5. During her work at Rutgers University microbiologist Elizabeth Bugie (1920-2001) was involved in the discovery of streptomycin, the first antibiotic effective against tuberculosis. While her boss received the Nobel Prize for this discovery, she wasn’t mentioned. Honouring her work on the discovery and evaluation of antibiotics, DSMZ researchers named the strain Streptomyces bugieae (DSM 41528) after her.

  8. 1970!!

    .> Bacteria — those tiny “bugs” that invade bodies and some times raise havoc — are begin ning to fight back against man's attempt to control them with modern drugs. Moreover, the bac teria are waging such a good fight that many scientists from around the world have become seriously concerned that the “bugs” might come out on top, rendering human populations vulnerable to diseases now under control.
    .> Scientists and physicians are concerned about the problem but at the same time there is deep disagreement as to how dangerous the situation really is. Last week, under the aus pices of the New York Acad emy of Sciences, experts from 11 countries gathered here to thrash out the controversy. When they adjourned, many partici pants said they learned a great deal, but few said they had changed their opinions.
    .> Dr. #TsutomuWatanabe, of Tokyo's Keio University School of Medicine, and a pioneer in the area of drug‐resistant bac teria, is one of the scientists who felt there might be real danger. The situation in his own country, he said, illustrates the seriousness of the problem.
    ...
    .> Over the past two years, Dr. Watanabe said in an interview, huge numbers of commercially raised Japanese fish have succumbed to infectious diseases. Antibiotics have been ineffective in treating these infections, he said, and the industry is seriously threatened. The fish are not responding to drug therapy because of a practice in animal husbandry that is common in most developed countries. In Japan, the United States and elsewhere, food animals such as cows, chickens, pigs and fish are routinely fed low but varying doses of antibiotics.
