Detailed explanation-1: -Through mutation and selection, bacteria can develop defense mechanisms against antibiotics. For example, some bacteria have developed biochemical “pumps” that can remove an antibiotic before it reaches its target, while others have evolved to produce enzymes to inactivate the antibiotic.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most serious concern with antibiotic resistance is that some bacteria have become resistant to almost all of the easily available antibiotics. These bacteria are able to cause serious disease and this is a major public health problem.
Detailed explanation-3: -Prevent infections in the first place. Improve antibiotic and antifungal use to slow the development of resistance. Stop the spread of resistance when it does develop. 14-Dec-2021
