Question

Excess, unnecessary or incomplete dosage of antibiotics may lead to:

• A. resistance in bacteria against that antibiotic
• B. increased immunity in patient taking antibiotic
• C. increase in efficiency of blood circulation
• D. increase in production of antibodies

Answer 1

The correct option is A resistance in bacteria against that antibiotic

Antibiotics are chemicals that can kill or retard the growth of other harmful microbes. If the disease causing bacteria is exposed to excess, unnecessary or incomplete dosage of antibiotic, then the surviving population of pathogens may begin to develop resistance against the antibiotic.
