Read the paragraph below from the passage. Click the sentence that best supports the idea that there is a
growing movement to decrease the sale or use of
antibacterial products.
5 Similar to antibiotics, antibacterial agents in
household products are meant to limit the growth of
bacteria. Unlike antibiotics, however, antibacterial
products are not meant to cure disease. They only
stop bacteria from spreading. Antibacterial products
also have negative effects: in 2000, the World Health
Organization stated that antibacterial products are
affecting the rise of resistant bacteria. This finding
was reinforced by a recent study from Tufts University
Medical School. The American Medical Association
has even called for regulation of antibacterial
products.
