Only the strong bacteria survive so the next generation of bacteria are more likely to resist antibiotics

Detailed explanation-1: -Taking antibiotics too often or for the wrong reasons can change bacteria so much that antibiotics don’t work against them. This is called bacterial resistance or antibiotic resistance. Some bacteria are now resistant to even the most powerful antibiotics available.
Detailed explanation-2: -However, some organisms (like bacteria) can change or mutate after being exposed to an antimicrobial. This makes them able to withstand the medicines designed to kill them. As the use and misuse of antimicrobials become more widespread, the number of resistant strains increases.
Detailed explanation-3: -Alcohol-based hand sanitizer does not create antibiotic-resistant superbugs. THE NITTY GRITTY: Alcohol-based hand sanitizers kill germs quickly and in a different way than antibiotics. Using alcohol-based hand sanitizers to clean your hands does not cause antibiotic resistance.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ways that bacteria acquire resistance: Mutation – Through the process of cell replication, some bacteria develop mutations that makes them resistant to antibiotics. Bacteria with the resistant mutation have a better chance of survival against antibiotics.
