About Infection🔗

A downside is that microorganisms can evolve, and some infection causing microorganisms have evolved in such a way that they became resistant to the antibiotics we use. For this reason humanity continues to be threatened by the risk of untreatable infections brought on by resistant infectious agents.One major contributing factor to this problem is the excessive overuse of antibiotics, among both humans and livestock, stimulating infectious agents to evolve in the direction of resistance to these antibiotics. In other words, if you keep attacking a group of organisms in a certain way, the survivors will ultimately grow strong in defense of these attacks. Luckily much research has been conducted to find solutions to this problem.
