2. Individual (15) If you were in charge of the world and money was no object, list two steps you would take to reduce the development of antibiotic resistance. EXPLAIN in some detail how/why ONE of the steps you wrote would work. Explanation

Answer 1

Answer: The two initiatives those can check the progress of antibiotic resistance are given below

1. There shouldn't be very low amount of a particular antibiotic in a medicine and medication should always be taken on the prescription of physician.

2. There should be minimal use of fertilizers ,insecticides. The world should go organic as far as possible with minimal use of GMO crops and animals.

Explanation(for 1):

Generally due to marketing strategies the dosage of the antibiotics are reduced in the medications. When a common disease occurs , people tend to try lower medications without the consent of physician . This results in lower accumulation leading to high amount of resistance(this acts like vaccination for microbes). So there shouldn't be lower amount of dosage just for marketing, and people should always refer a physician before taking any medications. In a world without money problem, this step will be very successful.
