Agriculture is problem #1, but drat if you don't think bad physicians contribute to the problem. The amount of idiot doctors throwing heavy hitters at minor infections, or heaven forbid viral infections, is astounding. Some hospitals are better than others, though, so I know mine is particularly bad.

Also, phage therapy is really neat and I hope it takes off.

Holy poo poo, sorry. Nice post.

I was talking to a researcher at Pfizer about some stuff, and as soon as I mentioned phage therapy he immediately clammed up. I don't know if he thought I was an idiot or there was some sort of NDA.

Is there any evidence this happens with IV antibiotics basically ever? Especially commonly enough to cause antibiotic resistance.

MIC creep with vancomycin isn't caused by giving colistin to pigs, so yes I believe it has.
