I've always thought that the reality is that since most antibiotics are dispensed without prescriptions in places where people can't afford doctors and antibiotics aren't regulated... and since these places are where most of the world's population lives in the most dense distribution... that strict antibiotic controls in the US are mostly useless. Someone will just bring in a resistant infection on a plane. What am I missing?
