In recent years, WHO has recognized antibiotic resistance as one of the most important current threats to global health and food security. Even when the process happens naturally, it is accelerated by the wrong use of antibiotics in humans and animals, and the effectiveness of these in the trea...
Molecular clock studies on the origins of the biochemical machinery required for antibiotic biosynthesis is consistent with their emergence as early as one billion years ago in the case of penicillins and resistance must be just as ancient [3,4]. Direct evidence of ancient antibiotic resistance is...
42K Antibiotic resistance occurs when organisms like bacteria and fungi can withstand the drugs designed to counteract them. Discover the definition and types of antibiotic resistance, and then explore the antibiotic resistance strategies and problems they present. Related...

” Sometimes, bacteria is good for you and sometimes it is bad. Viruses are the next type of germ that is bad for people, animals, and plants. Most viruses can’t live unless they are in a living organism like a plant, animal, or person. According to Frontier it says, “When ...
Antibiotic resistance & foodborne illnesses Did you know that theWHO listsantimicrobial resistance as one of the top 10 threats to global health and theUN warnsthat drug-resistant diseases could cause 10 million deaths each year by 2050?
Antibiotics kill plenty of good bacteria along with the bad, leaving your body very vulnerable to infection. If you only knock out some of the bacteria causing the infection, you could experience a serious relapse, and because the bacteria have developed resistance to the original antibiotic, you...
