Several factors contribute to the resistance of bacteria against antibiotics, including overuse and misuse of antibiotics, genetic mutations in bacteria that make them less susceptible to antibiotics, and the ability of bacteria to transfer resistance genes to one another. Other factors include poor infection control practices, lack of new antibiotic development, and the use of antibiotics in agriculture.

What type of medicine kills bacteria but not viruses?
The medicine which kills only bacteria are called bacteriocins.Bacteriocins are proteinaceous toxins produced by bacteria to inhibit the growth of similar or closely related bacterial strain(s). They are typically considered to be narrow spectrum antibiotics, though this has been debated. They are phenomenologically analogous to yeast and paramecium killing factors, and are structurally, functionally, and ecologically diverse. Bacteriocins were first discovered by A. Gratia in 1925 He was involved in the process of searching for ways to kill bacteria, which also resulted in the development of antibiotics and the discovery of bacteriophage, all within a span of a few years. He called his first discovery a colicine because it killed E. coli.
