Rising Antibiotic Resistance Threatens Public Health - Alternative Solutions Urgently Needed
Antibiotics are important for treating infections, but their overuse has led to bacteria becoming resistant to them. This resistance is a big problem for public health. The main causes are inappropriate use of antibiotics, lack of awareness, and excessive use in agriculture. Bacteria develop resistance through gene mutations, transferring genes, and other ways. To fight this, alternative treatments like light therapy, probiotics, plants, and nanoparticles can be used.
