Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Antibiotic resistance is one of the most urgent threats to the public’s health. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them. More than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur in the United States each year, and more than 35,000 people die as a result. Antibiotics save lives, but any time antibiotics are used, they can cause side effects and lead to antibiotic resistance.”
