- Antibiotics
are powerful drugs, but they are not the cure for all that ails you.
Antibiotics, also known as antimicrobial drugs, are drugs that fight infections
caused by bacteria
- Antibiotic resistance
is a form of drug resistance whereby some (or, less commonly, all) sub-populations of
a microorganisms ,
usually a bacterial species, are able to survive exposure to one or more antibiotics.
- Overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics,
such as
second- and
third-generation
cephalosporins,
greatly
hastens
the development of methicillin resistance.
- Other factors
contributing towards resistance include incorrect diagnosis,
unnecessary
prescriptions, improper use of antibiotics by patients, and the use of antibiotics as
livestock food additives for growth promotion.
