Home > Resources > Toolkits & Topics > Antibiotic/Antimicrobial Resistance Antibiotic/Antimicrobial Resistance TopOverviewAntibiotic resistance happens when germs like bacteria and fungi develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them. That means the germs are not killed and continue to grow. Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant germs are difficult and sometimes impossible, to treat. In most cases, antibiotic-resistant infections require extended hospital stays, additional follow-up doctor visits, and costly and toxic alternatives.
