How do drug-resistant bacteria increase?

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which we introduced last time

This time, I will explain in an easy-to-understand way the mechanism by which drug-resistant bacteria increase.

①Normally, there are many harmless bacteria (resident flora) in the body that help keep us healthy.

② When bacteria enter the body from outside and cause illness, the pathogenic bacteria multiply inside the body.

③So, when you take antibiotics for treatment, not only the bacteria that cause the disease but also the harmless bacteria (normal flora) are eliminated.

④ Drug-resistant bacteria may remain. This may cause the pathogen to change.

⑤When other bacteria disappear, it becomes an environment that is easy for drug-resistant bacteria to live in, allowing them to multiply.

This means that as drug-resistant bacteria increase, the antibiotics needed to treat the disease become less effective or ineffective.

Use antibiotics correctly to prevent illnesses from becoming incurable!!!

Here's the news-

A great workshop to learn about AMR will be held at Hiroshima University on Sunday, November 3rd! 📢📢

Let's all have fun learning together to protect the lives of the future.
