[5] Decreasing the overuse of antimicrobials is expected to serve the following goals: improve patient outcomes, especially patient safety; decrease adverse drug reactions such as hypersensitivity reactions or kidney or heart damage (e.g., QT prolongation).

3. Antimicrobial resistance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_resistance

   A person cannot become resistant to antibiotics. Resistance is a property of the microbe, not a person or other organism infected by a microbe. [14] All types of microbes can develop drug resistance. Thus, there are antibiotic, antifungal, antiviral and antiparasitic resistance. [4] [8] Antibiotic resistance is a subset of antimicrobial resistance.

   Antibiotic inactivation: bacteria create proteins that can prevent damage caused by antibiotics, they can do this in two ways. First, inactivating or modifying the antibiotic so that it can no longer interact with its target. Second, degrading the antibiotic directly.

   Resistance can develop through one of the three mechanisms: natural resistant ability in some types of microorganisms, a mutation in genes or receiving the resistance from another species. [5] Antibodies appear naturally due to random mutations, or more often after gradual accumulation over time, and because of abuse of antibiotics. [6]

   Antibiotic sensitivity testing is also conducted at a population level in some countries as a form of screening. [4] This is to assess the background rates of resistance to antibiotics (for example with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), and may influence guidelines and public health measures. [4]
