MCDONALD'S CORP on Wednesday said that it would begin curbing the use of the high value human antibiotics in its global chicken supply in 2018, as the fast-food giant joins a broad effort to battle dangerous superbugs.

In a policy statement, it said it is working on antibiotic plans for other meats, dairy cows and laying hens.
