The importance of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a major public health concern. It occurs when bacteria evolve to survive exposure to antibiotics, rendering standard treatments ineffective. This resistance can lead to longer illnesses, higher healthcare costs, and increased mortality. The emergence of resistant strains is often driven by overuse and misuse of antibiotics in human medicine and agriculture. Understanding antibiotic resistance is vital to developing new treatment strategies, improving infection control measures, and reducing the incidence of resistant infections.
