一項關(guān)于美國消費者對抗生素看法的調(diào)查

　　Eighteen percent thought use of antibiotics in livestock production was the number one contributing factor according to the CDC.  Seven percent thought the CDC found antimicrobial hand sanitisers to be the biggest factor; 5% thought the answer was drinking water and 28% said they were unsure.

　　18%認為根據(jù)CDC稱，將抗生素使用到家畜生產(chǎn)中是造成這種結(jié)果的一個促進因素。7%的人認為CDC發(fā)現(xiàn)抗菌消毒洗手液是最大的因素，5%認為是飲用水，28%的表示不確定。

　　During a September 2013 press conference to release a report on antibiotics, CDC director Thomas Frieden, MD, said, "Right now, the most acute problem is in hospitals. And the most resistant organisms in hospitals are emerging in those settings because of poor antimicrobial stewardship among humans."  In fact, he said that half of all antibiotic prescriptions given to humans are unnecessary.

　　在2013年9月新聞發(fā)布會期間發(fā)布的關(guān)于抗生素的報告，醫(yī)務(wù)部疾控中心主任Thomas Frieden博士說，“眼下，最尖銳的問題是在醫(yī)院，而在醫(yī)院，最耐藥的生物體存在于設(shè)備上面，因為人們對設(shè)備疏于管理“。事實上，他說，給人類的所有抗生素處方有一半是不必要的。”

　　CDC also said that it is important to use good stewardship in administering antibiotics during livestock and poultry production and that antibiotic use for animal growth promotion should be phased out, an effort that is already under way at the request of the Food and Drug Administration and a move that the American Meat Institute supports.

　　CDC還表示，在家畜和家禽生產(chǎn)中使用良好的抗生素管理是很重要的，而且那些用于動物促生長的抗生素應(yīng)逐步淘汰，應(yīng)食品和藥物管理局的要求和美國肉類協(xié)會的支持，這一努力已經(jīng)正在進行中。

　　In 2011, USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service screened meat and poultry for 128 chemicals, and 99% of the tested carcasses were free of all of them.

　　調(diào)查數(shù)據(jù)也反映了各地抗生素殘留問題的困惑。十分之四的消費者（39％）認為抗生素的不安全水平通常存在于食品雜貨店的肉類和家禽產(chǎn)品中，雖然政府公布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，在肉類和家禽產(chǎn)品中抗生素殘留的違規(guī)現(xiàn)象幾乎是不存在的。 2011年，美國農(nóng)業(yè)部食品安全檢驗局篩選了肉類和家禽，進行了128份化學(xué)品化驗， 99％的測試胴體沒有化學(xué)品。
