The issue of antibiotic-resistant germs and bacteria is a serious and growing public health threat. The biggest source of the problem is the overuse of antibiotics in medicine, which causing the effectiveness of these life-saving drugs to diminish. Another factor is using antibiotics in food animals to increase growth. Also related is the spreading of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria from one person to another. But then again, don’t antibiotics save lives in medicine? I personally was rescued by heavy doses of antibiotics twice in my life.
