“The possibility of transmission of antibiotic resistance through foods is something that it has been raised by several international scientific organisations but there is no real evidence of this occurrence and his significative that there have been no serious efforts to study it using laboratory animals that could prove this alternative. There are only studies about the resistance in the transmission of it among diferente species of bacteria in laboratory cultures. The professionals of human health know very well that the majority of the cases of antibiotics resistance in humans have occurred in health institutions and particularly in surgery cases. It has been demonstrated in the specific organizations that evaluates the toxicological effects of the presence of residues of veterinary drugs in food that the antibiotics residues at the levels present even in food originated in animals that receive antibitics as growth promoters have not demonstrated a risk for the health of the consumers. The resistance generated has not been reported as a relevant problem in animal health. The effect of this claim about the undemostrated risk of antibiotic resistance originated by animals of food production will be indeed a new barrier of access for developing countries products.”
