Super bugs: Hi, yes prescribing unnecessary Antibiotics could cause creating superbugs but i don't call that the end of it because we are smarter than bacterias, we should change our behavior, don't beg our doctors for Antibiotics just for cold, do not take Antibiotics on our own, and our smart scientists always making better and more efficient Antibiotics.

No: However the concern about mega-bugs with multi-drug resistance is big concern to the medical world. The home is that with technological and biochemical advancement , the medical world resisting indiscriminate prescription of antibiotics on patient urging, and patients adhering to their prescription, the end by mega bug will be avoided
