Answer:

Inflammation

Explanation:

The inflammatory response (inflammation) can be described as a localized response to an injury or to the destruction of tissues. It occurs when tissues are injured by bacteria, trauma, toxins, heat, or any other cause. The cells in  damaged tissue release chemicals that can cause swelling, redness, heat, pain in the damaged area, all as part of the healing process. Some of those chemicals are cytokines that bring in body's immune cells. Others are histamine and prostaglandins which cause swelling, pain and fever. As the body heals, the inflammation gradually decreases.

Describe two ways that people contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance.
frosja888 [35]
People contribute to <span>antibiotic resistance by not completing their full course of antibiotics as prescribed by doctors when they are sick.

Another way in which bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics is the widespread use of antibiotics in everyday consumer products, such as cleaners and beauty products. These antibiotics end up in the environment, and diluted exposure to these antibiotics by bacteria allows the bacteria to develop a resistance.   </span>
