Antibiotic-resistant

The fast development of safe microorganisms is occurring worldwide, endangering the efficacy of antibiotics, which have transformed medicine and saved millions of lives. Antibiotic resistance happens when the germs no longer react to the anti-infection agents intended to execute them. Generally, infections caused by antibiotic-resistant germs are difficult, and often impossible to treat even. In most of the cases, antibiotic-resistant infections require extended hospital stays, additional follow-up with doctors, and costly and toxic alternatives. Every year in the U.S., at least appx. 2.8 million people are infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria or fungi, and more than 35,000 people die accordingly. Using antibiotics can lead to resistance. Each time you take antibiotics, sensitive microbes are killed. But resistant germs may be left to grow and multiply There are several common antibiotic-resistant pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterobacteriaceae etc.
