And can it share this resistance with other bacteria?
In: 1
If you’re taking an antibiotic and stop taking it before you’ve completed the full course of treatment, you’ll have killed most but not all of the bacteria. Those remaining bacteria are still there because they’re resisted the antibiotic and since you’ve stopped taking the antibiotics they are now free to reproduce and create more antibiotic resistant bacterias.
Always take the full course of any antibiotics you’re prescribed.
