According to CNN, a medical journal published a story that close to half of the beef and poultry in the US contains anti-biotic resistant bacteria, staphylococcus aureus or Staph. Staph can lead to rashes and ailments which cause death like pneumonia, sepsis and endocartis. The authors of the study cite that meat producers that use anti-biotic supplements on their animals have helped create the drug resistance of the bacteria. Many of the strains of staph found were resistant to a few different anti-bodies used to treat staph infection which leaves a doctor few options for treatment.
The report also states that the bacteria can be killed by thoroughly cooking the tainted meat but warns people can get infections from cross-contamination. Surfaces that come in contact with the meat that aren’t cleaned can infect a person with staph. The meat producers have been urged to limit their use of anti-biotic but have failed to do so.
