Relating to the recent reading assignment about antibiotic resistance and some of the other articles posted on this blog, I'm posting this article in USA Today about a recent study by the CDC. It indicates that doctors have reduced their prescriptions of antibiotics to children ages 14 or under since the CDC determined that overuse of antibiotics leads to a dangerous level of antibiotic resistance.
Since the original USA Today article was brief and vague, I included the CDC study that the article cites below.
