Science Digest
Milk from Tasmanian devils contain peptides that appear to kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as MRSA.
“The antimicrobial compounds are called cathelicidins and have been shown to kill MRSA, Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus, as well as fungi, called Candida. Scientists believe devils evolved these peptides to help their young grow stronger and allow them to thrive in a relatively dirty environment.”

A bacteria that lives in the human nose produces a natural antibiotic that is able to kill multiresistant pathogens.
“The compound is called Lugdunin and is able to kill multiresistant pathogens, where many classic antibiotics have become ineffective. Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem. Future research will investigate whether the Lugdunin-forming can be used as a preventative measure against MRSA.”

Bacteria from stomach of bees produce powerful antimicrobial compounds which, applied directly to infections, seems to defeat antibiotic resistance
“FTA: > Thirteen lactic acid bacteria found in the honey stomach of bees have shown promising results in a series of studies. The group of bacteria counteracted antibiotic-resistant MRSA in lab experiments. The bacteria, mixed into honey, has healed horses with persistent wounds. The formula has previously been shown to protect against bee colony collapse.”

Perdue Farms now producing its chicks antibiotic free in 100% of its hatcheries largely due to social backlash making it profitable.
“>Animals account for ~80% of antibiotic usage in the U.S. and MRSA now kills more people in the U.S. than HIV. It's an interesting topic. Makes you sort of think twice about "ag gag" laws coming into play in some states.”
