Question

why are there so many bacteria resistant to antibiotics today? doctors gave up on treating bacteria all bacteria always had resistance antibiotics made bacteria stronger bacteria with resistance genes survived and reproduced more

Explanation:

Antibiotic resistance arises from natural selection: bacteria with pre-existing resistance genes survive antibiotic exposure, reproduce, and pass on resistance. Other options are incorrect—doctors don’t give up treating bacteria, not all bacteria always had resistance, and antibiotics don’t "make" bacteria stronger but select for resistant variants.
