A member asked:
How can i know the drug developed resistant against microorganism? can it be noted if the symptoms do not improve though taking antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Failure of an antibiotic to clear an infection sometimes is due to resistant bacteria, but not always. This depends a lot on the particular infection being treated and the antibiotic used. Check with your doctor.
