A 36-year-old man has been prescribed an antibiotic for treatment of gonorrhea. After a couple of days, he feels well and decides to stop taking the antibiotic. What is the most likely outcome of this situation?
| He may have a few pathogens left, but his immune system will be able to take care of those. |
| The number of resistant forms of this pathogen will increase significantly, resulting in a relapse that is not treatable by the antibiotic. |
| Because he feels better, this means that the antibiotic has killed all of the pathogens. |
| His body has become used to the antibiotic and will develop resistance to that antibiotic. |

If the patient stops in between, the infection can come back and be resistant to the antibiotics the patient is taking.
