What is antibiotic resistance and why is it a big deal?
Antibiotic resistance is when your body is immune to antibiotics so it doesn't allow your body to kill off deadly bacteria. It is a big deal because if not treated properly than there would be a world-wide epidemic.
How does natural selection influence the effectiveness of antibiotics and the deadliness of the pathogen?
If this is not treated properly, then the strongest will only survive. It will take a long time to have a antibiotic that treats all the viruses. By this time, there will be a epidemic and many people will die.
What are some ways to prevent bacteria from becoming antibiotic resistant?
1. If you are infected, listen to your doctor and take medication as directed!
2. Maintain a healthy lifestyle- keep your self germ-free
3. Wash your hands often, take care of your own hygiene
