O D Antibiotic resistance could be slowed by enforcing people to take the full course of drugs. O E All of these answers are correct Unanswered

Explanation / Answer

Answer: Option E. All of the answers are correct

Bacteria acquire resistance by frequent use of antibiotics, discontinuing antibiotics before the stated duration of treatment.

Use of broad spectrum antibiotics for minor infections like cold, or use of inappropriate antibiotics for treatment may result in developing resistance and tolerance in the body. Broad spectrum antibiotics also leads to bacterial vacuum by depleting the healthy flora. Healthy flora maintains the necessary environment and avoids foreign invasion by pathogens

-By maintaining regulation of use of antibiotics, they will be used in essential conditions and eliminates the chance of wrong usage.

-Reducing the antibiotics less frequently and using them judiciously, will result in reduced tolerance and the body can utilize them in life threatening infections.

- Using complete course of antibiotics will reduce the emergence of resistance in the microorganisms by completely eliminate the microbes, and do not allow chance of resistant microbes to transfer the resistance genes to other non resistant bacteria.

Hence, all the given options are correct.
