They’re also studying how the amount of antibiotic residue that people consume from animals effect human intestinal bacteria. These are just two out of the many endeavors taking place …show more content…
They have just too many different ways of overcoming antibiotics. On top on that there’s also human error to think about. I liked how two articles quoted statistics. Numbers are undeniable. It’s shocking to see just how many people are infected by a antibiotic resistant microbe each year. The good news is that this problem has global attention. We can see efforts being made all around the world to find a solution so a to avoid a pandemic. I’m in good spirits that one day very soon we will find what we are looking for and we will make headway in conquering antibiotic resistant
