Question: Why should I be concerned about antibiotic resistance?

Danna Gifford answered on 22 Jun 2016:

Hi Melisa, everyone should be a little worried about resistance, because we need antibiotic to help us get better when we get infections, and so that we can have advanced medical procedures like surgery and dental care. It’s not something to lose too much sleep over yet, but we can all do our part by not taking antibiotics unless they are definitely needed.
