Chapter 5.2, Problem 1MM
Medical Moment
Q. Antibiotics targeting bacteria have proliferated since the mid-1900s. Antiviral medications are few, and were developed only recently. What alternative control strategy did the medical field employ against viral diseases, starting more than 200 years ago?

Why is overuse of antibiotics resulting in more antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria to evolve ? - [ ] The antibiotic becomes less potent over time leading to resistance - [ ] The normal flora of the patient can no longer to outcompete the pathogen - [ ] The antibiotics create the mutations that result in resistant organisms - [ ] The patients begin to have less side-effects from the antibiotics - [ ] The antibiotics provide the selective pressure for resistancearrow_forward
