Keep Antibiotics Working!
An estimated 70 percent of all antibiotics used in the United States are regularly added to the feed of livestock and poultry that are not sick - a practice with serious consequences for our health. Bacteria that are constantly exposed to antibiotics develop antibiotic resistance. This means that when humans get sick from resistant bacteria, the antibiotics prescribed by doctors don't work.

Congress today and tell them to support the Preservation of Antibiotics
for Medical Treatment Act, and put an end to the dangerous overuse of important
human antibiotics in the feed and water of animals that are not sick.
With members of Congress who have long supported restrictions on antibiotic overuse now heading key congressional committees, the time has never been better to pass this critical legislation.
