Yes to some bacteria. When antibiotics were first discovered they were considered 'miracle' drugs and over used to the point now that some bacteria will not respond. The term 'super bugs' are used to refer to bacteria that has changed so they can grow in the body causing thesame illnesses they once were effective in treating.
