What are three ways that you can help prevent the spread of antibiotics resistant bacteria?

In order to prevent the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, you should use antibiotics exactly as directed by your healthcare provider (i.e. correct dosage, don't skip doses), dispose of any leftover antibiotics once treatment is completed, and should not use antibiotics that were not prescribed for you and your current condition.

Explain how the excessive or inappropriate use of antibiotics poses a health hazards for human population?
Antibiotics are substances which kill or inhibit bacteria. The problem lies in the fact that bacteria tend to have fairly high mutation rates. These mutation rates yield some bacteria which are more resistant to the antibiotics than other bacteria. Since you have used an antibiotic to destroy all other bacteria in a person, the resistant bacteria is free to spread as much as it can, since the antibiotic used won't kill it. If this is the case, then the person would have to get a different, more appropriate antibiotic to kill the bacteria. In some cases, this can be done multiple times, and you end up with a super-bacteria called multi-antibiotic resistant bacteria. As use of antibiotics spread, so do strains of these MAR bacteria, which are much more deadly than their relatives So what can be done? First, use antibiotics less. Studies show that they are over-prescribed. Second, ensure that the proper antibiotic is prescribed. In some cases, an antibiotic which is incorrect for the job to be done is one of the culprits.
What is the main cause of the increase in the numbers of antibiotic resistant bacteria in hospitals?
so the bacteria wont spread. since we have the scinece and technology for it, they decided to make it useful by putting time and energy towards the increased production of those antibiotics. also to make it healthier ad safer, as well as easier and quicker to fight and cure diseases.
Why are antibiotic administered to the chicken?
After the research of Scientists officials warned that if the consumption of antibiotics chicken to be used at the current rate, infections may be life-threatening. The reason behind it is simple. All birds carry bacteria. The process of injecting antibiotics to hens can kill most bacteria, but resistant bacteria can survive and multiply. Resistant bacteria spread from animals to humans. This concern because infections from common foodborne diseases are more serious health consequences than non-resistant infections. So, I think we need to avoid this type of chicken, we need to raise antibiotic-free chicken in Chandigarh. Eggrovila has started the journey of providing all kinds of chicken.
What are r plasmids and why are these a problem to humans?
R-plasmids contain genes for antibiotic resistance and they can be transferred among bacteria. It is common for gut bacteria of humans and other animals to spread antibiotic resistance this way. It is a problem for humans because many bacteria have become resistant to multiple antibiotics.
Is cellulitis deadly?
Yes. Untreated it can be fatal. You have to treat it with antibiotics. The proper use of antibiotics is very necessary. You already have the multi drug resistant bacteria. They may spread all over to take you to pre antibiotic era.
Why the multi drug resistant bacteria has not taken over and killed the whole human population?
The multi drug resistant bacteria was detected in 2008 for the first time. Large scale misuse of the antibiotics by the quacks was the reason for emergence of this so called superbug bacteria. There was speculation that this type of bacteria will spread very rapidly. It was suppose to engulf the whole human population. Every sensible citizen was worried about the threat to the humanity. This dreaded bacteria continue to create the problems as expected. But it did not spread in geometrical progression as expected. Why this did not happen has been bothering me over the years. Now that I have come to know the probable reason for the same. This is a guess work and open for the discussion. You had such type of bacteria, Typhoid bacteria to be more precise. It became resistant to the commonly used antibiotic, that was Chloramphenicol. I thought that it was the end. Fortunately the new antibacterial came to the rescue. That was Ciprofloxacin. But with time the Typhoid bacteria once again became sensitive to the Chloramphenicol. That means the drug resistant bacteria are fragile as compared to the 'wild' variety of the bacteria. Same principle has applied to multi drug resistant bacteria also. They are more fragile than the 'wild' variety of bacteria. So they did not spread with geometrical proportion. But the spread by arithmetic progression can not be prevented.
What resistant forms of bacteria are produced by gram positive bacilli of most dangerous diseases causing bacteria?
These bacteria did not become antibiotic resistant until we overused antibiotics. This is one of my pet peeves. We selected for these 'bad bugs' in this way. The CDC says: Many public health organizations have described the rapid emergence of resistant bacteria as a “crisis” or “nightmare scenario” that could have “catastrophic consequences. We are just about back to where we were before the discovery of penicillin. And I remember those days.Among gram-positive pathogens, a global pandemic of resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and Enterococcus species currently are the biggest threat.Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and the global spread of drug resistance among common respiratory pathogens, including Streptococcus penumoniae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is epidemic. And just what will we do with TB that doesn't respond to antibiotics.

How does throwing away a tissue after you have blown your nose prevent the spread of bacteria?
because when you throw it in the garbage can then people dont pick it up, therefore preventing the spread of bacteria.
How did MRSA form?
it started from hospitals and animals MRSA/Multidrug Resistant Staphylococcus aureus was discovered in 1961 in the UK. It is now found worldwide. it is thought that Mrs elenor Chorley contracted it
