And that would be the "rest of the story," so to speak.  They feed chickens 
AND inject eggs (that are going to become chickens, not the ones that head 
for the grocery shelves) with gentamycin.  So we now have a whole new strain 
of SE that it gentamycin resistant.  Which inturn gives us a another super 
bug.
