Question : Under which conditions does a bacterium develops resistance against antibiotics? |
| Answer» Solution :Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria develop the ability to defeat the drug designed to kill or INHIBIT their growth . It is one of the most acute threat to pubilic health . Antibiotic resistance is accelerated by the misuse and over use of ANTIBIOTICS , as well as poor infection PREVENTION control . Antibiotics should be used only when PRESCRIBED by a certified health professional . When the bacteria become RESISTANT antibiotics cannot fight against them and the bacteria multiply . Narrow spectrum antibiotics are preferred over broad spectrum antibiotics. They effectively and accurately target specific pathogenic organisms and are less likely to cause resistance. | |
