Mass-introduced after 1945, antibiotics helped revolutionize post-war agriculture. Food producers used antibiotics to prevent and treat disease, protect plants, preserve food, and promote animals' growth. Many soon became dependent on routine antibiotic use to sustain and increase production. The resulting growth of antibiotic infrastructures came at a price. Critics blamed antibiotics for leaving dangerous residues in food, enabling bad animal welfare, and selecting for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria, which could no longer be treated with antibiotics. Pyrrhic Progress reconstructs the complicated negotiations that accompanied this process of risk prioritization between consumers, farmers, and regulators on both sides of the Atlantic. Unsurprisingly, solutions differed: while Europeans implemented precautionary antibiotic restrictions to curb AMR, consumer concerns and cost-benefit assessments made US regulators focus on curbing drug residues in food. The result was a growing divergence of antibiotic stewardship and a rise of AMR. Kirchhelle's comprehensive analysis of evolving non-human antibiotic use and the historical complexities of antibiotic stewardship provides important insights for current debates on the global burden of AMR. 410 0$aCritical issues in health and medicine. 606 $aAgriculture$xHistory 606 $aDrug legalization$xhistory 606 $aFood$xSafety measures 606 $aDrug resistance in microorganisms$xGenetic aspects 606 $aAnti-Bacterial Agents$xhistory 607 $aUnited States 607 $aUnited Kingdom 610 $aHealth, medicine, antibiotics, history of antibiotics, Anglo-American food production, post-war agriculture, food production, agriculture, antibiotic use, antibiotic regulation, British food production, antibiotic resistance, twentieth century, US food production, United States, antibiotic infrastructure, animal welfare, antimicrobial resistance, farming, farmers, AMR, agricultural history, environmental history, public health, risk management. 615 0$aAgriculture$xHistory. 615 0$aDrug legalization$xhistory. 615 0$aFood$xSafety measures. 615 0$aDrug resistance in microorganisms$xGenetic aspects. 615 10$aAnti-Bacterial Agents$xhistory 676 $a615.7/922 700 $aKirchhelle$b Claas$f1987-$01025345 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910377813703321 996 $aPyrrhic Progress$92437857 997 $aUNINA
