Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Individuals who work closely with farm animals treated with antibiotics tend to come into contact with more antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can lead to the development of antibiotic resistance in their own microbiota. This is due to the selective pressure placed on bacteria in these environments, as those that are resistant to antibiotics are more likely to survive and proliferate.
