Antibiotic-resistant bacteria primarily originate from the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in both human medicine and agriculture, where they are often used to promote growth in livestock. These bacteria can also arise through genetic mutations and the horizontal gene transfer of resistance traits among bacteria. Additionally, poor infection control practices and inadequate sanitation contribute to the spread of these resistant strains in communities and healthcare settings. Environmental factors, such as pollution from pharmaceutical waste, further exacerbate the problem by introducing resistant bacteria into ecosystems.
