Eat Inoculated Chicken, Increase Your Own Antibiotic Resistance

So says the linked article...interesting quote from the blog post:

"These results indicate that virginiamycin use in poultry leads to transfer of antibiotic resistance genes to human gut bacteria through the food supply and they provide additional evidence that use of growth promoters in animals may have long-term consequences for human health. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can use this information to improve its risk assessment procedures."
