Due to medical error, antibiotic resistance develops to which antibiotic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not medical error : Not exactly sure what you are asking however antibiotic resistance isn't related to medical error. Bacteria have an amazing ability to adapt for survival and these adaptations can make a once useful medicine ineffective. Please clarify if seeking further knowledge.
