These substances are part and parcel of earth but the problem is that we are releasing them into the environment in new combinations that do not naturally exist .

In those hundred years it can kill thousands of animals which consume it, it promotes spreading of malaria when it accumulates rain water where mosquito eggs hatch and it looks revolting when dumped.

What is a good strategy for helping to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Taking antibiotics only on doctor prescription and completing the full course of antibiotics.

Explanation:

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria do not get harmed or killed by a drug which is made against them. Misuse and overuse of antibiotics are the main culprits which induce antibiotic resistance in bacteria.

To prevent the spreading of antibiotic-resistant bacteria antibiotics should only be taken on doctor's prescription. Full course of antibiotics should be done to eliminate all the bacteria which ensures that no bacteria is left to gain antibiotic resistance against the drug.

Antibiotics do not affect or kill virus therefore they should not be taken in viral infection.
