Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The overuse of antibiotics in recent years means they’re becoming less effective and has led to the emergence of “superbugs". These are strains of bacteria that have developed resistance to many different types of antibiotics, including: MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)
Detailed explanation-3: -Antibiotic resistance is one of the most urgent threats to the public’s health. Antibiotic resistance happens when germs, like bacteria and fungi, develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them. That means the germs are not killed and continue to grow.
Detailed explanation-4: -Anytime antibiotics are used, they can contribute to antimicrobial resistance. This is because increases in antimicrobial resistance are driven by a combination of germs exposed to antibiotics, the spread of those germs, and their mechanisms of resistance.
Detailed explanation-5: -Antibiotic resistance is a public health concern around the world. The number of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics is increasing. The danger of antibiotic resistance is that treatable illnesses, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, or minor infections could become incurable.
