More about the book

The book explores a simplified approach to quantitative risk assessments regarding the health impacts of antibiotics used in food animals, specifically fluoroquinolones in chickens. It discusses a model developed by the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine that links human health risks directly to exposure metrics, positing that the risk of antibiotic-resistant infections in humans correlates with the production of contaminated chickens. This innovative method aims to streamline traditional risk assessment processes while addressing public health concerns related to antibiotic resistance.
