NEW YORK — A “growing and dangerous” trend of antibiotic resistance among humans that has been traced in part to the overuse of antibiotics in animal feed led several health and consumer organizations to sue the U.S. government Wednesday, demanding action, the groups said.
The lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan asked the court to declare that the Food and Drug Administration had violated federal law by failing to withdraw approval of penicillin and tetracyclines in animal feed when animal health is not at stake.
