HEALTH IMPLICATIONS OF ANTIBIOTICS ABUSE

Antibiotics are truly miracle drugs. They actually cure disease. There are very few other drugs or classes of drugs that can make this claim. The task that we demand of antibiotics is an almost impossible one. Antibiotics are essentially toxins that target one set of living beings, but spare others. Achieving this has, so far, mainly been a miracle of nature. Discovering new antibiotics has been extraordinarily difficult. The genomics revolution, although still promising, has not yet advanced this field. The success of antibiotics has, in a way, been their downfall. In this seminar work, we are going to discuss about the health implications of abuse of antibiotics and how it can be avoided. At the end of the research, a valid conclusion was made.
