Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are germs that have evolved to survive treatments that once killed them. This resistance can happen when antibiotics are taken unnecessarily or misused, allowing some bacteria to adapt and thrive despite medication. As a result, infections caused by these resistant bacteria can become harder to treat, leading to longer illnesses and increased healthcare costs. It's crucial to use antibiotics responsibly and only when prescribed by a healthcare professional to help combat this growing problem. Efforts to reduce resistance include proper hygiene, vaccination, and promoting awareness about the responsible use of antibiotics.
