More about the book

The book explores a simplified approach to quantitative risk assessments regarding the human health risks associated with antibiotic use in food animals, particularly fluoroquinolones in chickens. It discusses a model developed by the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine, which posits that human health risks are directly proportional to exposure metrics, such as the amount of chicken contaminated with resistant bacteria. This innovative method aims to streamline traditional risk assessment processes while addressing concerns about antibiotic resistance affecting human medicine.
