Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria evolve and become immune to the effects of antibiotics, making infections harder to treat. Overuse and misuse of antibiotics, such as taking them for viral infections or not finishing prescribed doses, contribute to this problem. As bacteria become resistant, common infections like pneumonia, tuberculosis, and urinary tract infections may no longer respond to treatment.
