Concerned about developing antibiotic resistance? Let's look at what causes antibiotic resistance. It is not over consumption but rather:

Under dose: Prescribing to few grams of the antibiotic to be effective against a bacteria. This includes low dose prophylactic use of antibiotics as seen in farm animals. This can also be caused by a patient missing a dose or not taking the quantity prescribed by a doctor. This happens mostly in farm animals who develop antibiotic resistant strains that are passed on to people through the environment and food chain.

Under term: Prescribing too short a term of antibiotics to be effective against an infection. This happens due to physician developing poorly founded fears about how antibiotic resistance occurs in people.

Excessive re-exposure: Re-introducing your body to infective agents before the prescribed antibiotic course is complete. Or to soon after the course is completed. This happens mostly in farm animals who are returned to unsanitary condition while on antibiotics. The farm animals develop antibiotic resistant strains that are passed on to people through the environment and food chain.

Help fight antibiotic resistance:
1. Take your antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor. If you suspect "under term" dosing seek the advice of a doctor who specialize in your infection.
2. buy food grown with out antibiotics to promote a healthy environment and food chain.
2. get immunized
3. stay home when you are sick
4. wash your hands
