【新唐人2011年4月20日讯】香港《明报》报导，中国内地养殖业者滥用抗生素的情况十分严重，每年有近十吨的各种抗生素药品被喂给动物及鱼类食用。专家指出，残留过量药物的肉类一旦被吃进人体，可能培养出抗药性强大的“超级细菌”。滥用抗生素，人们将面临无药可用的困境。
这个月17号香港《明报》报导，《中国经营报》引述卫生部全国细菌耐药监测网负责人肖永红教授的话指出，内地每年生产抗生素约21万吨，除了3万吨出口外，其中9.7万吨用于动物养殖业。以养殖鱼业为例，渔户为了提高利润，养殖的密度很大，水体污染严重，造成鱼群容易生病，因此部分渔户以喂养抗生素药物的方式，保证鱼只可以在污染严重的水中存活，再卖给经销商。
不要以为吃了不会马上死人这事情就不严重。钟南山院士也说过：过量服用抗生素的后果非常严重！也担任浙江大学附属第一医院传染病实验室教授的肖永红指出，瘦肉精只会害到“一拨人”，滥用抗生素将危害到全人类。
过量服用抗生素的动物虽不会立即死亡，但可能产生抗药性强大的“超级细菌”。如果残留药物的肉类被吃进人体，也可能使人体感染的病菌产生抗药性。即使没被人类食用，动物本身也可能产生超级细菌，通过食物链和自然环境传播，最后传染给人类。
不过，肖永红还表示，他们的调查工作非常困难，有些数据因为牵扯到不同部委们的隐私或机密，他们根本就不愿意对研究者公开。
一位养殖业者万先生不经意的一句话，让媒体记者大吃一惊。他说：动物养殖中抗生素的添加远比瘦肉精多，动物吃最多的还是抗生素，卖抗生素的药厂很多，没人管。
一名肉类加工企业的老总私下也告诉媒体，他说，海产品可能还好一些，淡水鱼肉制品的污染恐怕更严重，因为淡水鱼的养殖密度超过自然环境几十倍。他笑说：如果感冒了，吃什么抗生素？吃几只螃蟹就够了。有业内人士估计，内地可能已有超过八成的淡水养殖水场遭到污染，其中又以抗生素药物的污染最为严重。
报导指出，国家食品药品管理局统计显示，中国每年人均使用抗生素138克，是美国的10倍。但动物吃进去的抗生素远比人类多更多。不过肖永红坦言，当时调研的21万吨抗生素，是2006的年产量。北京科美东亚生技公司执行长应希堂估计：何止20万吨？现在中国的抗生素恐怕是年产40万吨了。”
肖永红指出：滥用抗生素，人们将面临无药可用的困境。北京华安麦科生技公司副总路晟也认为，如果经常食用抗生素，会在人体内不断残留。当超过一定限度后，所有的药都有可能对人体病毒无效。

China’s Antibiotic Abuses in Livestock
Hong Kong’s Ming Pao reported of serious abuse
of antibiotics in raising livestock, near 10 tons/year in China.
Experts pointed out that once the residue
from antibiotics enters into the human bodies,
it may cultivate bacteria with super resistance to antibiotics.
With antibiotics’ abuse people will face a crisis
that no drugs would be helpful to human beings.
In that report, China Business quoted remarks
from professor XiaoYonghong, director
of Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring Network,
that out of 210,000 tons of antibiotics produced,
97,000 tons are used in raising livestock every year.
For example, to lift profit fish farmers use antibiotics
to raise fish from high density breeding and polluted
water, which allows the fish to survive and be sold.
Academician Zhong Nanshan also said:
“The consequences are very serious.”
Professor Xiao Yonghong from
the Zhejiang University Medical Center pointed out
that clenbuterol can harm a small group of people,
but abusing antibiotics can endanger all of humanity.
Excessive amount of antibiotics may not kill,
but it may help bacteria to become super resistant
to drugs. If a residue of antibiotics is present in
the human body, super bacteria may grow in it.
Then even if humans do not consume such meat,
the super bacteria can spread to human beings,
through the food chain and the natural environment.
Prof. Xiao also said that their investigation
is very difficult; eople from different units are not
willing to share due to privacy or confidentiality.
A reporter was surprised by the following remark
from Mr. Wan in the breeding industry: “Animals
take in far more antibiotics than clenbuterol. From
the many pharmaceutical companies no one cares.”
The manager of a meat processing company told
the media privately, “Seafood is probably better,
as freshwater fish is far more contaminated
due to breeding density,” after which he laughed
and said, “If you have a cold, you don’t need to take
antibiotics, just eat a few crabs and it will do.”
Insiders in the breeding industry estimated that over
80% of freshwater breeding sites are being polluted,
and antibiotics are the most serious offenders.
According to the report, the State Food and Drug Administration statistics
show that China’s annual use of antibiotics is 138 grams per capita,
10 times that of the American usage. However, the animals
take in far more than human beings.
Xiao also said, “In 2006, antibiotics production was 210,000 tons.”
But now, it probably reaches 400,000 tons.
Xiao Yonghong pointed out, “Misusing antibiotics,
human beings will face a crisis of no helpful drugs.”
Vice President Lu Sheng of Bejing Biotechnology
also believes that long term buildup of
antibiotics residue will leave us with no usable drugs.
