The role of microorganisms such as yeast in the environment is that these contain bacteria which are the workhorses of biological processes such as fermentation to produce metabolites that are beneficial to the body. An example of this is the fermentation of any fruit (or substances containing sugar) to produce metabolites such as alcohol, aldehydes, acids (lactic or acetic acid) and many more via the action of yeast bacteria, commonly <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em>. Pollutants affect the functions of yeast as they play as contaminants of the living workhorses.Pollutants can introduce disturbances which affect how yeasts strive in the environment. This affects the production of metabolites as well.

The infections that people get while they are in hospitals are commonly resistant to multiple drugs. What is a reason for the in

Harman [31]

Answer: The reason for the increased number of drug-resistant bacteria being found in hospitals is due to MISUSE and OVERUSE of antibiotics.

Explanation:

Antibiotics is a type of drug that attacks bacteria microorganisms either by killing or eliminating the bacteria (that is, bactericidal) or by preventing further growth of the bacteria (that is, bacteriostatic). Antibiotics should be taken properly while being used to treat any diseases condition to prevent drug resistance by the bacteria from occurring.

The reason for the increased number of drug-resistant bacteria being found in hospitals is due to MISUSE and OVERUSE of antibiotics. This causes the bacteria to change the way they respond to these medicines making them become antibiotic resistance. When they infect an individual, the infections they cause are harder to treat than those caused by non-resistant bacteria.
