Abstract
An antibiotic is a medicine that kills bacteria or prevents their growth. Antimicrobial resistance occurs when bacteria change over time and do not respond to drugs; this makes the infection more difficult to treat and increases the risk of infection, serious illness, and death. Over the years, infections have devolved and some infections are difficult to treat due to the resistance developed by these bacteria. Antibiotics are specific to the type of infection they treat. They are not interchangeable from one disease to another. Antibiotics are generally safe and have few side effects when used incorrectly. Doctors can evaluate each patient individually to determine the correct antibiotic, dose, and duration of treatment.
