Solution

Antibiotics:

  1. One of the very first organisms to evolve on earth was probably a unicellular organism, similar to modern bacteria.
  2. Ever since then, life has evolved into a multitude of life forms over many millennia. However, we can still trace our ancestry back to this single-celled organism.
  3. Bacteria are unicellular organism belonging to prokaryotic organisms where the organism lack few organelles and a true nucleus.
  4. Antibiotics are used for treating and preventing the further progression of bacteria or infection.
  5. Antibiotic resistance occurs when antibiotics no longer respond to antibiotics.
  6. Antibiotic resistance germs are certainly difficult to treat and eventually extended medical treatments, follow-up, doctor visits, and costly treatment
  7. When the germs are exposed to antibiotics they get mechanically resisted, so too many antibiotics are generally denied as it's usefulness may get lost.
  8. However, it is important to note that antibiotic resistance occurs naturally and cannot be prevented.

Precautions :

  1. Talk to doctors about the problem regarding antibiotics.
  2. Don't save medicine for later to use my own.
  3. Don't share one antibiotic with others.
  4. Talk to a doctor about the side effects of medication and uses
  5. Don't take antibiotics if prescribed for someone else that may delay the treatment and make you sicker
  6. Avoiding the misuse/overuse of antibiotics must be considered.
