Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ability of bacteria to survive and become “stronger” even after antibiotic treatment is called
A
cellular respiration
B
endospore formation
C
antibody resistance
D
antibiotic resistance
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Antimicrobial resistance happens when germs like bacteria or fungi no longer respond to the drugs designed to kill them. That means these germs are not killed and continue to grow.

Detailed explanation-2: -Antimicrobial resistance happens when germs like bacteria and fungi develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them. Resistant infections can be difficult, and sometimes impossible, to treat. Antimicrobial resistance is a naturally occurring process.

Detailed explanation-3: -Antimicrobial resistance: The ability of a microbe (germ) to resist the effects of a drug. Antimicrobial-resistant germs are not killed by the drugs that are typically used against them and may continue to multiply. Antimicrobial resistance includes antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral resistance.

Detailed explanation-4: -Overuse of antibiotics is creating stronger germs. Some bacteria are already “resistant” to common antibiotics. When bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, it is often harder and more expensive to treat the infection. Losing the ability to treat serious bacterial infections is a major threat to public health.
