How do bacteria become resistant to antibiotics?
Mutation of bacteria creates new immune strains. The bacteria survive and reproduce. The resistant strain then spreads because people are not immune to it
Which bacteria is resistant to most antibiotics?
MRSA
How do you reduce the rate of the development of antibiotic resistant strains?
• Doctors should not prescribe antibiotics to non-serious infections or viral infections • Patients should complete their full course of antibiotics to make sure that all the bacteria are dead and non-survive to mutate • Antibiotics shouldn’t be used in agriculture
