Medical Conditions - Antibiotic Resistance

Antibiotic resistance is the ability of disease-causing germs like bacteria and fungi to build resistance against drugs that are supposed to kill them. These bacteria and fungi develop the power to not get killed by these medications and they continue to grow and cause infections. Infections caused by these bacteria and fungi are more severe and life-threatening.
