Bacterial resistance occurs when bacteria become capable of resisting the effects of drugs that were previously effective against them, such as antibiotics. This phenomenon occurs mainly due to genetic mutations or the exchange of genetic material among bacteria, allowing them to develop defense mechanisms against the drugs. Resistance can be combated through research into new antibiotics, strict control of drug use, and preventive practices such as proper hygiene and the control of hospital-acquired infections. Furthermore, it is essential to educate the public about the importance of responsible antibiotic use.
