Question

When the first antibiotics became available in the late 1940s and early 1950s, these antibiotics were effective against all bacterial infections. Today however, there are a multitude of antibiotic resistant bacterial infections. What conclusion can be drawn?

Answer 1

We can conclude from this that bacterial infections are growing immune to the antibiotics

Answer 2

Answer:

Some bacteria have gone through an evolutionary process that made them resistant to the action of antibiotics.

Explanation:

Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a naturally evolving phenomenon that occurs when bacteria mutate and become resistant to drugs used to treat infections. As a result, standard treatments become ineffective, infections persist and may spread to others.

Bacteria, not humans or animals, become resistant to antibiotics. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics by health institutions, the population, agricultural practices and agriculture is a contributing factor to the spread of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, proper use should be part of the routine of producers, the community and health professionals and hospitals.
