【禁聞】濫用抗生素 養殖業恐養出超級細菌

【新唐人2011年4月20日訊】香港《明報》報導，中國內地養殖業者濫用抗生素的情況十分嚴重，每年有近十噸的各種抗生素藥品被餵給動物及魚類食用。專家指出，殘留過量藥物的肉類一旦被吃進人體，可能培養出抗藥性強大的「超級細菌」。濫用抗生素，人們將面臨無藥可用的困境。

這個月17號香港《明報》報導，《中國經營報》引述衛生部全國細菌耐藥監測網負責人肖永紅教授的話指出，內地每年生產抗生素約21萬噸，除了3萬噸出口外，其中9.7萬噸用於動物養殖業。以養殖魚業為例，漁戶為了提高利潤，養殖的密度很大，水體污染嚴重，造成魚群容易生病，因此部分漁戶以餵養抗生素藥物的方式，保證魚只可以在污染嚴重的水中存活，再賣給經銷商。

不要以為吃了不會馬上死人這事情就不嚴重。鐘南山院士也說過：過量服用抗生素的後果非常嚴重！也擔任浙江大學附屬第一醫院傳染病實驗室教授的肖永紅指出，瘦肉精只會害到「一撥人」，濫用抗生素將危害到全人類。

過量服用抗生素的動物雖不會立即死亡，但可能產生抗藥性強大的「超級細菌」。如果殘留藥物的肉類被吃進人體，也可能使人體感染的病菌產生抗藥性。即使沒被人類食用，動物本身也可能產生超級細菌，通過食物鏈和自然環境傳播，最後傳染給人類。

不過，肖永紅還表示，他們的調查工作非常困難，有些數據因為牽扯到不同部委們的隱私或機密，他們根本就不願意對研究者公開。

一位養殖業者萬先生不經意的一句話，讓媒體記者大吃一驚。他說：動物養殖中抗生素的添加遠比瘦肉精多，動物吃最多的還是抗生素，賣抗生素的藥廠很多，沒人管。

一名肉類加工企業的老總私下也告訴媒體，他說，海產品可能還好一些，淡水魚肉製品的污染恐怕更嚴重，因為淡水魚的養殖密度超過自然環境幾十倍。他笑說：如果感冒了，吃甚麼抗生素？吃幾只螃蟹就夠了。有業內人士估計，內地可能已有超過八成的淡水養殖水場遭到污染，其中又以抗生素藥物的污染最為嚴重。

報導指出，國家食品藥品管理局統計顯示，中國每年人均使用抗生素138克，是美國的10倍。但動物吃進去的抗生素遠比人類多更多。不過肖永紅坦言，當時調研的21萬噸抗生素，是2006的年產量。北京科美東亞生技公司執行長應希堂估計：何止20萬噸？現在中國的抗生素恐怕是年產40萬噸了。”

肖永紅指出：濫用抗生素，人們將面臨無藥可用的困境。北京華安麥科生技公司副總路晟也認為，如果經常食用抗生素，會在人體內不斷殘留。當超過一定限度後，所有的藥都有可能對人體病毒無效。

China's Antibiotic Abuses in Livestock

Hong Kong's Ming Pao reported of serious abuse

of antibiotics in raising livestock, near 10 tons/year in China.

Experts pointed out that once the residue

from antibiotics enters into the human bodies,

it may cultivate bacteria with super resistance to antibiotics.

With antibiotics' abuse people will face a crisis

that no drugs would be helpful to human beings.

In that report, China Business quoted remarks

from professor XiaoYonghong, director

of Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring Network,

that out of 210,000 tons of antibiotics produced,

97,000 tons are used in raising livestock every year.

For example, to lift profit fish farmers use antibiotics

to raise fish from high density breeding and polluted

water, which allows the fish to survive and be sold.

Academician Zhong Nanshan also said:

“The consequences are very serious.”

Professor Xiao Yonghong from

the Zhejiang University Medical Center pointed out

that clenbuterol can harm a small group of people,

but abusing antibiotics can endanger all of humanity.

Excessive amount of antibiotics may not kill,

but it may help bacteria to become super resistant

to drugs. If a residue of antibiotics is present in

the human body, super bacteria may grow in it.

Then even if humans do not consume such meat,

the super bacteria can spread to human beings,

through the food chain and the natural environment.

Prof. Xiao also said that their investigation

is very difficult; eople from different units are not

willing to share due to privacy or confidentiality.

A reporter was surprised by the following remark

from Mr. Wan in the breeding industry: “Animals

take in far more antibiotics than clenbuterol. From

the many pharmaceutical companies no one cares.”

The manager of a meat processing company told

the media privately, “Seafood is probably better,

as freshwater fish is far more contaminated

due to breeding density,” after which he laughed

and said, “If you have a cold, you don't need to take

antibiotics, just eat a few crabs and it will do.”

Insiders in the breeding industry estimated that over

80% of freshwater breeding sites are being polluted,

and antibiotics are the most serious offenders.

According to the report, the State Food and Drug Administration statistics

show that China's annual use of antibiotics is 138 grams per capita,

10 times that of the American usage. However, the animals

take in far more than human beings.

Xiao also said, “In 2006, antibiotics production was 210,000 tons.”

But now, it probably reaches 400,000 tons.

Xiao Yonghong pointed out, “Misusing antibiotics,

human beings will face a crisis of no helpful drugs.”

Vice President Lu Sheng of Bejing Biotechnology

also believes that long term buildup of

antibiotics residue will leave us with no usable drugs.
