This means that the antibiotics are no longer effective at killing the bacteria, making it difficult or even impossible to treat infections caused by these resistant bacteria. Antibiotic resistance is a serious public health threat, as it can lead to: Increased morbidity and mortality: Infections caused by resistant bacteria are more difficult to treat, and may result in longer hospital stays, higher healthcare costs, and even death. Limited treatment options: If a first-line antibiotic is ineffective, doctors may have to resort to using stronger, more expensive antibiotics, which can have more side effects. In some cases, there may be no effective antibiotics available at all. Spread of resistance: Resistant bacteria can spread from person to person, or from animals to humans, making i...
