The bacteria are alive and are very smart and can figure out how to resist it.

Which type of adaptation develops quickly in bacteria that are antibiotic resistant?
Phenotypic adaptation
What bacteria is called superbug infection?
diptheria There are an extremely large amount of diseases caused by bacteria, but fortunately bacterial diseases are easily cured with antibiotics, whereas viral diseases cannot be cured (only the symptoms can be treated) and must run there coarse.
Why do you think the zygote is dormant for some time in a fertilized ovule?
the zygote is dormant for sometime because it develops only after the endosperm develops. this is an adaptation to ensure nutrition to the growing embryo.
Describe the active and inactive stages of bacteria?
The active and inactive stages of bacteria are the ones that form the life-cycle of bacteria. In the active stage, the bacteria develops and reproduces while the inactive stage spores are formed on the outer layer of the bacteria to shield them from any hostile environment.
Do you have bacteria when you are sick?
No. A fetus develops inside the amniotic sac. Its genetic material comes from the egg and sperm which do not give it bacteria. Only during birth, when the sac is broken and the baby emerges does it encounter bacteria.

Are antibiotics being overused?
This is a very complicated question but yes, antibiotics are being used in high frequency in our society and at times, they are prescribed wrongly. Antibiotics do not treat viral infections and the common cold or flu is viral - but doctors write a prescription because they diagnosed it wrong or because the patient is pressuring the doctor for a antibiotic. This leads to bacterial resistance to that specific antibiotic and in some cases, resistance to the entire class of that antibiotic. So if you take amoxicillin wrongly and bacteria becomes resistant, it becomes resistant to amoxicillin and all penicillin class of antibiotics. This is why we are seeing the rise of highly resistant strains of bacteria in this world such as VRSA (Vancomycin resistant) or MRSA (Methicillin resistant) bacterial strains.
What would happen if you didn't finish a course of antibiotics?
If you stop taking your antibiotic before you complete the course any surviving bacteria developes an immunity to that antibiotic. You must then take a different, usually stronger antibiotic to kill the infection. Once that happens that particular antibiotic usually will not work for any bacterial infection you may get.
Why is bacterial antibiotic resistance a major health concern?
Bacteria live almost everywhere. Our body can co-exist with many kinds called 'healthy bacteria', while we can also fight off many unhealthy bacteria and maintain our well being with our normal immune system. When a bacteria develops resistance to antibiotics; often because it is exposed to an antibiotic but not enough to completely kill it off -- like when someone takes some of their medicine, but doesn't finish it because they start to feel better, or because it is a very common bacteria and antibiotic soap is used all the time until a bacteria comes along or changes so that it can resist it, then our system has a much harder time killing it off and the options we have for treating it become fewer and fewer. Flesh eating disease is one example of a bacteria that has become antibiotic resistant. Many people die or become horribly disfigured by the spread of resistant bacteria before their system overcomes it, or a suitable treatment is found.
Why would not taking the entire course of antibiotics be counter productive in the treatments of any infection?
When antibiotics are incorrectly used and are not taken for the full term prescribed, usually from 5 to 21 days, depending on the specific antibiotic and disease, surviving bacteria develops immunity to the antibiotic.
Can your child get high fever while on antibiotics?
It is possible for a child to get a fever after being on an antibiotic for three days. There are several reasons. A few of those reasons are that the child could be sick with a virus and not a bacteria, in which case the antibiotic would be useless. Another scenario is that the bacteria is resistant to the particular antibiotic and that a different one is needed. In either case, you should follow up with the child's physician.
A stream pattern develops on lands underlain by alternating bands of resistant and less-resistant rock?
A trellis drainage pattern develops on lands underlain by alternating bands of resistance and less-resistant rock. Water streams cause this to develop over a long period of time as a result of the erosional process.
Why do you think the zygote is dormant for some time in a fertilized ovule?
the zygote is dormant for sometime because it develops only after the endosperm develops. this is an adaptation to ensure nutrition to the growing embryo.
What are some connections between Lewis Carroll's works and chemistry?
Lewis Carroll actually primarily wrote textbooks on mathematics and logic.In Through the Looking-Glass the Red Queen tells Alice that 'You have to keep running to stay in the same place'. At the time she meant it literally, however I have heard the phrase used to describe the development of antibiotics (which is really more Biology than Chemistry). The idea being that whenever a new antibiotic is developed a new strain of bacteria resistant to the new antibiotic quickly develops. Hence you have to keep making new antibiotics to 'stay in the same place'.
Do people fast for death?
Well it depends on the persons intentions. But fasting develops patiance, piety ,self-resistant.
If a cow develops increased fur during cold weather is that genetics or environment?
Environment and adaptation to the changes of the environment.
