Describe one concern about the overuse of antibiotics?
resistance
What is over use?
Overuse is to use or repeat something for too long. The Medical profession is warning that the overuse of antibiotics is leading to growing resistance in bacteria.
Can you identify a possible risk of overuse of antibiotics?
bacteria and fungi will become immune to them, causing infections such as MRSA.
What will happen to bacteria if antibiotics are over used?
The bacteria will become immune to the antibiotics.
How did improving treatment of patients with antibiotics lead to new problem?
Overuse of antibiotics has caused a serious problem in terms of human health. Bacteria have developed resistance to antibiotics, and ones which were once easily treatable are extremely difficult to treat. Some of these resistant bacteria are causing deaths which would have once been preventable.
Is resistance to antibiotics permanent?
No, resistance to antibiotics is not permanent. However, once you have a resistance, that antibiotic will no longer work for specific infections.
What if you overuse antibiotics when you have a bacteria infection?
You run the risk of liver failure and toxicity
How are humans contributing to anibiotic and pesticide resistance?
misuse and overuse.
Is there a cause for MRSA?
When it comes to a cause to MRSA, it normally starts with antibiotics Overuse And Improperly.
What is the conclusion about antibiotics?
Antibiotics have always been considered one of the wonder discoveries of the 20th century. This is true, but the real wonder is the rise of antibiotic resistance in hospitals, communities, and the environment concomitant with their use. The extraordinary genetic capacities of microbes have benefitted from man's overuse of antibiotics to exploit every source of resistance genes and every means of horizontal gene transmission to develop multiple mechanisms of resistance for each and every antibiotic introduced into practice clinically, agriculturally, or otherwise. This review presents the salient aspects of antibiotic resistance development over the past half-century, with the oft-restated conclusion that it is time to act. To achieve complete restitution of therapeutic applications of antibiotics, there is a need for more information on the role of environmental microbiomes in the rise of antibiotic resistance. In particular, creative approaches to the discovery of novel antibiotics and their expedited and controlled introduction to therapy are obligatory.
Why are some bacteria resistant to treatment?
Because they inherited or borrowed genes for antibiotic resistance on tiny "microchromosomes" called plasmids. The ancestors of these plasmids had grown for many thousands of bacterial generations in medium level concentrations of antibiotics causing strong selection pressure for effective antibiotic resistance genes to those antibiotics.
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.
