Detailed explanation-1: -Repeated and improper uses of antibiotics are the primary causes of the increase in drug-resistant bacteria. While antibiotics should be used to treat bacterial infections, they are not effective against viral infections like the common cold, most sore throats, and the flu.
Detailed explanation-2: -Antibiotic resistance is accelerated by the misuse and overuse of antibiotics, as well as poor infection prevention and control. Steps can be taken at all levels of society to reduce the impact and limit the spread of resistance.
Detailed explanation-3: -It’s important to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor, even if you are feeling better. If treatment stops too soon, and you become sick again, the remaining bacteria may become resistant to the antibiotic that you’ve taken. Do not skip doses.
Detailed explanation-4: -The number of resistant strains has increased, partly due to the misuse of antibiotics. This has resulted in more infections that are difficult to control. MRSA is methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, and it is very dangerous because it is resistant to most antibiotics.
