When does antibiotics resistance develop ?

Explanation

(i) Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria develop the ability to defeat the drug designed to kill or inhibit their growth.
(ii) Antibiotic resistance is accelerated by the missuse and over use of antibiotics, as well as poor infection prevention control.
(iii) Antibiotic should be used only when prescribed by a certified health professional.
(iv) 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. "Superbug" is a term used to describe strains of bacteria that are resistant to the mejority of antibiotics commonly used today.
