Question

The infections that people get while they are in hospitals are commonly resistant to multiple drugs. What is a reason for the increased number of drug-resistant bacteria being found in hospitals?

Answer 1

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.
