A member asked:
If i haven't ever taken antibiotics other than a few necessary times, does that mean antibiotic resistant bacteria won't affect me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibotic resistance: Your use of antibiotics has no effect on antibiotic resistant strains. You have the same risk as everyone else getting an antibiotic resistant bacterial infection
