The more antibiotics are used, the more likely it is for antibiotic resistant organisms to appear. The germ causing the infection can become resistant ("immune") to the antibiotic, then it will basically make it useless in the fight against that germ. Antibiotics are medicines that are used to kill or stop the reproduction in bacteria. Antibiotics are mainly used to stop infections or infectious diseases, and since its discovery,If antibiotics is overused it may kill the benefitical bacteria in our body if we take unneccesarly the drugs become less effective .Antibiotics, however,are not effective against cold and flu as these are caused by viruses.
