The statement that antibiotic resistance occurs because people build up a resistance to antibiotics is false.
Antibiotic resistance occurs when the drugs that are made to destroy germs such as fungi and bacteria are defeated by the germs and the drugs doesn't work on them. In such cases, the germs continually grow since they weren't destroyed.
Antibiotic resistance doesn't occur because people build resistance but rather because there are changes in the germs or bacteria with regards to how the medicines are used.
Therefore, the people didn't build up resistance to the antibiotics but rather, the germs did.
