Question
what problem arises when people stop taking antibiotics prematurely? people get a boost in their immune system resistant bacteria survive and may spread all bacteria get eradicated
When antibiotics are stopped prematurely, not all bacteria are killed. The more resistant bacteria survive. These surviving bacteria can multiply and spread. Antibiotics work by targeting bacteria. If the full course isn't taken, the weaker bacteria die but the stronger, more resistant ones remain. Over time, if this happens often, these resistant bacteria can become a major problem as the same antibiotic may no longer be effective against them.
