Dan, I think you have done a wonderful job of explaining the problem in a way that the average consumer will understand. In the exposure section you mention that humans are exposed to resistant bacteria by eating undercooked meat. do you want to define "undercooked" by including temperatures? Also, how might a consumer (like me) be exposed to resistant bacteria in the environment? Carol570cjk (talk) 17:23, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the suggestion on PRRS background. Yes, feel free to borrow the pathway format, partially thanks to VCA who found the arrows. I'm not sure I'm happy with it yet but short of drawing out a wordy flowchart I didn't know how else to do it. I may still do the folowchart, we'll see. Thanks, Wayne

Dan, Maybe elaborate on the enviornemntal exposure pathway to include hog waste lagoons that leak reisitant genes in to ground water that is used for public water supply: study by University of Illinois, RI Mackie 2007 570nlh (talk) 18:05, 7 November 2011 (UTC)Nancy Hannaway 11/07/2011. Great suggesstion. I will add it. thank you. Dan.[reply]

I would like to see some quantitative data if it is available, especially with respect to your table -- Use in swine is listed but how widespread is that use (in US)? Are these uses all prophylactic? And importance is qualitatively summarized but do we have information on how extensively the various antibiotics are currently used in human medicine? It would seem that the use in both swine and human medicine would have to be fairly high in order for the concern for antibiotic resistance to be valid. And are some of these antibiotics also experience heavy subtherapeutic use for other food animals? 570jdw (talk) 18:11, 8 November 2011 (UTC). you bring up a good point. there is much disagreeement on how much is used for food animal and how much of that is used for growth promotant purposes. It depends what side of the issue you are on. I will address this issue in the article because it is very important. dan.[reply]

A suggestion that I am trying to figure out how to do for you is to 'float' the table so that the text can go along the left and the table along the right. If I can get it figured out I'll try to add it....if you don't like it that way of course you can reject that change. To me floated tables appear more text-book like and readable.

Dan, in case you want to include a link to the most recent bill in Congress related to antibiotics in food, here it is: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.965: . I know you have the CRS report already, but the text of the actual legislation can be a primary source document.
