Antibiotics Resistance

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria evolve and become resistant to medications designed to kill them or inhibit their growth. This can happen when antibiotics are overused or misused, allowing bacteria to adapt and survive. As a result, common infections can become harder to treat, leading to longer illness, increased healthcare costs, and a higher risk of complications or death. Combating antibiotic resistance requires responsible use of antibiotics, thorough handwashing, vaccinations, and ongoing research to develop new treatments. Protecting the effectiveness of antibiotics is essential for public health.
