Technological innovations aim to reduce multi drug resistant bacteria in society, suggesting improved antibiotic usage may help combat superbugs.
Multi Drug Resistant Bacteria are bacterium that have evolved and changed their proteins where antibiotics have little to no effect on these types of bacteria. This bacteria spreads commonly through contaminated food and water. The leading cause of superbug outbursts is a misuse of antibiotics. Doctors incorrectly prescribe patients with antibiotics causing the bacteria that infects the human body to eventually evolve which leads to regular antibiotics being ineffective against the bacteria. Decreasing the overuse of antibiotics can control the outbursts of Multi Drug Resistant Bacteria (MDR). Technological innovations like AI and new chemicals are being developed by researchers to effectively kill MDR bacteria. Society should know about MDR bacteria since it is increasingly getting worse as the bacteria evolves. Understanding how these types of bacteria work is vital to create a definite cure for Anti-Biotic resistant bacteria in the coming future.
