Now, antibiotics have been used for patients like this, but they've also been  used rather frivolously in some instances, for treating someone  with just a cold or the flu, which they might not have  responded to an antibiotic, and they've also been  used in large quantities sub-therapeutically, which means in small concentrations, to make chicken and hogs grow faster.
Antibiotici su se koristili za pacijente poput ovih, ali korišteni su i veoma neozbiljno u nekim slučajevima, za liječenje samo prehlade ili gripe, koje ne bi reagirale na antibiotik. Također su korišteni u velikim količinama ne-terapeutski, odnosno  u malim koncentracijama za brži rast pilića i svinja.
