    Study Notes

    Antibiotic Resistance

    • The intense use of antibiotics over the years has led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms.

    What is Resistance?

    • Resistance in the context of antibiotics refers to the ability of microorganisms to withstand the effects of antibiotics.

    Development of Resistance

    • Resistance to antibiotics in bacteria often develops through genetic mutations or the transfer of genes from one bacterium to another.

    Article Focus

    • The article highlights the growing concern of antibiotic resistance and its implications.

    Consequences of Resistance

    • The emergence of resistant microorganisms has led to various problems, including:
      • Ineffective treatment of infections
      • Increased mortality rates
      • Higher healthcare costs
      • Prolonged hospital stays
