AnnieA · Answer

Misuse and overuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, making it more challenging to treat bacterial infections. This resistance occurs when drugs fail to kill all bacteria, allowing resistant strains to survive and reproduce. Responsible use of antibiotics is vital for maintaining their effectiveness in treating infections.
