Antibiotic Resistance

Imagine trying to get rid of weeds in your garden, but each time you spray them with weed killer, a few survive and grow back even stronger. This situation is similar to how bacteria become resistant to antibiotics. Just like the toughest weeds manage to survive and adapt to the weed killer, certain bacteria withstand antibiotic treatment, multiply, and pass on their resistant traits, making it harder to eliminate them in the future.
