Studies have shown that bacteria from urinary tract infections in humans are highly similar to bacteria from retail chicken samples, indicating animal-to-human transmission through food.

Proximity to high-density swine production or large-scale pig manure use is a risk factor for developing antibiotic-resistant infections.

There are roughly as many human cells as bacterial cells in our bodies.

Meat from conventionally raised poultry was twice as likely to contain multidrug-resistant Salmonella as poultry labeled antibiotic-free or organic.
