Iselin, New Jersey, United States | November 13-14, 2017
"Any exposure to an antibiotic is a way to generate resistance. And those bacteria--the resistant ones--wind up out in the water supply, they wind up circulating in the world, and they ultimately wind up coming back into the food that you and I eat or the water that we drink, " said John H. Rex, MD, FACP, chief medical officer, F2G Ltd., Manchester, UK.
