據美國食品安全新聞網消息，近日美國民眾發起大規模請愿活動，要求政府通過兩部法律-抗生素醫學治療保護法案（PAMTA） 以及預防抗生素耐藥性法案（PARA）。這兩部法案通過后，有望在食品動物生產過程中禁止非治療用途的抗生素應用，改善越來越嚴重的耐藥性現象。
部分原文報道如下：
Like many other bills introduced in Congress in recent years, movement on the Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act （PAMTA） and the Preventing Antibiotic Resistance Act （PARA） has stagnated.
PAMTA in the House of Representatives and PARA in the Senate would ban non-therapeutic uses of medically important antibiotics in food animal production.
PAMTA and PARA “would stem the use of antibiotic treatment in factory farms and help prevent the problem from getting even worse,” he continued.
