	Try a Medline search on antibiotic resistant tuberculosis. You may want
to consider the relationship of poor patient compliance with physicians
prescriptions as a factor which contributes to selction for antibiotic
resistant bacterial strains.  Also the idea that antibiotic residues in 
animal products lead to reduced efficacy against bacterial agents infecting
humans. Good luck!!
