With the changing views in how antibiotics is used, European countries are already removing growth promotant (Singer 161). Following the example of European countries means for safer and cleaner food with less chances to contract ARB's. .
Water Treatment plants are also a core part of the problem. Water Waste Treatment Plants (WWTP) treats contaminated water to produce a safe fluid waste stream. However, Water Waste Treatment Plants cleaning after antibiotic manufacturing industries leads to a spawning ground for antibiotic resistant bacteria (Nachiket). They have a basic method of cleaning out water and is used often, but it doesn't account for the minority of viruses and bacteria that make it out unharmed. Like general antibiotics, Chlorination is the go-to method for cheap, and decent treatment of water. It suffers from the same problem the factory farm have, it kills most of the bacteria, but like they say, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." The commonly over-used quote holds true for the bacteria in the WWTP. A study of bacteria by found in WWTP that received ninety percent of its waste from drug manufacturers in India showed that all strains were immune to 5 antibiotics, 80 of them were resistant to 20 or more antibiotics, and 49 were immune to 29 or more antibiotics (Nachiket). According to Nachiket, the results of this experiment showed higher levels of antibiotic resistant bacteria then the environmental samples. Based on the data, the concentration of bacteria in WWTP is a huge threat to humans because it could potentially spreads its resistant gene to other bacteria (Nachiket). Treated water is often recycled to be used in some shape, way , or form in close contact with people therefore making it easy to spread. .
Through international travel, trade, and accessibility to transport, microbes are given chances to move around everywhere people go (Oksana). As Stephen S.
