Antibiotics today have become a widely used medicine. However, the overuse of antibiotics causes drug resistance and many other harmful effects.
Antibiotic resistance is the ability of a bacterium to incapacitate an antibiotic that has a beneficial effect on that bacterium. As a result, antibiotics are used according to the correct treatment regimen but are not effective, pathogenic bacteria still exist and can be transmitted to others.
This is a natural evolutionary phenomenon. When bacteria are exposed to an antibiotic with a spectrum of action, most bacteria are inhibited or killed, but some bacteria transform themselves to survive the antibiotic's action. The antibiotic-resistant properties of these bacteria will be passed on to their children and grandchildren.
Improper use of antibiotics will spread antibiotic resistance properties of bacteria rapidly, promote the development of resistant bacteria, and exacerbate the situation of drug resistance.
Proper use of antibiotics means using antibiotics for the right indication, with the right drug, at the right dose, in the right route, at the right time.
