- Washington post WWW site, viewed Sept. 20, 2019(Stuart Levy; Stuart B. Levy, a physician and microbiologist who sounded the alarm on the dangers of antibiotic resistance, demonstrating that drugs routinely given to fatten farm animals posed a threat to human health, died Sept. 4 [2019] at his home in Boston. He was 80. Dr. Levy was based at the Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, where he taught for 47 years before retiring in 2018. Trained as a hematologist, Dr. Levy continued to see patients decades after beginning his work on antibiotics. His career bridged research and activism: Seeking to translate his findings into public policy, he met with regulators and politicians, discussed antibiotics on TV with Bryant Gumbel and Dan Rather, and wrote a popular 1992 book, "The Antibiotic Paradox: How Miracle Drugs Are Destroying the Miracle." He also formed the nonprofit Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics. Stuart Blank Levy was born in Wilmington, Del., on Nov. 21, 1938. In 1971, he became a professor at Tufts, where he directed the Center for Adaptation Genetics and Drug Resistance)
