Why would a patient that is on a long term antibiotic regime of aminoglycoside for a persistent lung infection start to feel extremely fatigued?
Homework Answers
This is due to development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria.Antibiotic resistance happens when the germs no longer respond to the antibiotics designed to kill them. That means the germs are not killed and continue to grow. Bacteria and fungi are constantly finding new ways to avoid the effects of the antibiotics used to treat the infections they cause. If antibiotic are taken for long term then bacteria found a different way to escape from the effects of antibiotics.
Here, patient have been taken antibiotic for a long time , so bacteria found a new way to tackle antibiotic and keep growing . Hence, patient is feeling fatigued.
