Misuse of Antibiotics puts us all at Risk

Antibiotic resistance is appearing everywhere in the world, and affecting the treatment of infectious diseases. Though the antibiotic resistance occurs naturally, but misuse of antibiotics in humans and animals is accelerating the process. Antibiotic defiance occurs when bacteria change in a way that reduces the effectiveness of these medicines. The bacteria endure and continue to multiply. Antimicrobial defiance is called when microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites) change when they are exposed to antimicrobial drugs. Microorganisms that develop antimicrobial defiance are sometimes referred to as “superbugs.

Taking antibiotics when you don’t need them fastens up antibiotic battle. Antibiotic protection infections are more complex and harder to treat. We all have a part to play in preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics by preventing the spread of infections and changing how we prescribe and use these medicines.
