If you overuse it then when you really need it, it won't work. The reason is that your doctor should do a culture, like a throat swab, and run a sensitivity test to see if an antibiotic is needed and which one will affect the microbe. You want to hit the microbe with accuracy and not with a "shot-gun". When treating the microbe with the right drug, the persons' normal flora will not become resistant to that antibiotic. I get really upset if a culture and sensitivity isn't done because the antibiotic may be needed to knock a microbe out and now it will not work at all or have to be given higher doses.

What is the purpose of antimicrobial susceptibility test?
Antimicrobial susceptibility tests are used to determine the most effective antibiotic to treat a bacterial infection.

This test helps prevent the overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics and reduce the development of antibiotic resistance.
Does the antibiotic cephalexin 500 mg pill smell bad?

How is the use of antibiotics a matter of both good news and bad news?
The use of antibiotics is good news because they are effective in treating bacterial infections and saving lives. However, overuse and misuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, where bacteria evolve to resist the effects of antibiotics, making infections harder to treat. This is the bad news as it limits the effectiveness of these life-saving drugs.
The antibiotic is not bad for pregnant?
It matters what type of antibiotic and for what. Your doctor knows which antibiotics you should have. They are limited in what they want you to take while being pregnant.
How can the overuse of antibiotics lead to antibiotic resistance in bacteria?
The overuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance in bacteria because it creates a selective pressure that allows resistant bacteria to survive and multiply while non-resistant ones are eliminated. This can happen when bacteria are repeatedly exposed to antibiotics, leading them to develop genetic mutations that make them resistant to the effects of the medication. Over time, these resistant bacteria can spread and become more common, making the antibiotics less effective.

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is the result of?
It is due to a selection process. Bacteria, like us, have individual genes and the antibiotics will kill off those that are affected by it but not the ones that resistant. These resistant forms will be the ones that survive. We are actually selecting for one that are immune to the antibiotic.
