What is the concern with overuse of antibiotics?

its one of these (only one of them is correct but i dont know which one): -viral infections -binary fission -bacterial resistance -fungal infections AGAIN,I DONT KNOW WHICH ONE IS THE RIGHT ANSWER . ASK ANYONE IF POSSIBLE.


How does resistance develop in bacteria?

Bacteria, like all organisms, have phenotypic variations. Some bacteria are resistant to antibacterial drugs and survive the onslaught of these drugs. They then go on to have progeny ( by fission ) that they confer this resistance on so that you have a new population of resistant bacteria.


Does bacteria usally reproduce by fission?

Bacteria can only reprodue through binary fission.


Can antibiotics cause resistance in bacteria?

A simple way to explain it is:When you have an infection and take antibiotics for it, the weaker bacteria are killed first, with the stronger ones surviving, or taking longer to destroy. So when you don't take the full round of antibiotics, the stronger bacteria are the ones left in your body, and they are the ones that will continue to multiply, resulting in a bacteria resistant to the antibiotic. This is why you should always take the full prescribed course of antibiotics.Also, when antibiotics are prescribed, the body's natural defense system (the good bacteria) are destroyed along with the bad bacteria. This is why you should always eat yogurt with active cultures or drink buttermilk while on antibiotics - the active cultures put the "good" bacteria back in the body.


What organisms use fission method?

Single celled organisms, bacteria and protozoa, reproduce by fission.


How does bacteria reproduse?

What is bacteria's way of asexual reproduction?

Bacteria reproduce asexually through a process called binary fission. In binary fission, a single bacterium divides into two identical daughter cells. This allows bacteria to rapidly multiply and colonize new environments.


How is bacteria reproduced?
