Phil Smith and microbiologist Dr. Greg Mayer, examined the risks and controversy linked with airborne antibiotic-resistant bacteria caused by overcrowded feedlots. The study raises probable concerns over the transmission of resistant bacteria into the environment and its subsequent interaction wit
ary scenario may not be fiction. Texas Tech University researchers Phil Smith and Greg Mayer have discovered DNA from antibiotic resistant bacteria spawned in cattle feedlots where the drugs are added to healthy animals food to promote growth - in the winds that blow dust out of the lots.
