Description | ||
| While antibiotics are very powerful in the cure of many bacterial diseases, some bacteria have developed ways to resist antibiotics. The extensive use of antibiotics (unfortunately including the over-prescription and misuse of these medications) has resulted in the evolution of bacteria that are not be killed by antibiotics and these bacteria once again threaten health and life. Diseases that were virtually eliminated with the introduction of antibiotics are becoming more and more difficult to cure. Each and every one of us has the ability to help with this ever increasing problem. | ||
