>(1) The benefits of the antibiotic growth promoters arise from their 
>principal mode of action
which aims to manipulate the microbial flora of the intestinal tract in most 
species as well as
the rumen of ruminants. The result of this interaction with the organisms of 
the gut is
improved digestion, metabolism and absorption of an array of essential 
nutrients...

How do we square this with the known beneficial bacteria that we are told 
are essential for our good health - and that of our bees?  Do they only kill 
the 'bad' bacteria?
