How does bacteria become resistance?
Bacteria changes in some way to eliminate or reduce the effects of the drugs. If one of the bacteria survives they multiply and causes harm, they become immune to the drugs. They change the DNA. By Joey
Antibiotic Restance
Antibiotic Resistance: Occurs when bacteria change in a way that reduces the effectiveness of drugs, chemicals, or other agents designed to cure or prevent infections. The bacteria survive and continue to multiply, causing more harm.
Antibiotics used in livestock
Farmers use antibiotics for their animals to keep them live stock alive for longer periods of time and, to make them develop(grow) faster. The conditions that the animals live are not clean and, they are kept in a small pin, there is very little space. The little space that they have can cause sickness to spread easily and faster to all the other animals
