Each year, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is responsible for an estimated 1.1 to 1.4 million deaths worldwide. Now, scientists have found evidence that the spread of AMR isn’t always driven by bacteria evolving to resist the antibiotics themselves: rather, certain weedkillers can have the same effect.

Big animal agriculture really trying anything to shift blame lol. 70% of all antibiotics are used on farm animals and the AMR issue suddenly being caused by something other than their insane overuse of antibiotics would be pretty convenient.
