Additional Information / Shotlist About antibiotic resistance:

Bacteria, for which antibiotics are the only drugs available for treatment, can adapt to medical treatments commonly used to prevent or fight them to ensure their survival. Their ability to survive medicines is called antibiotic resistance, and the overuse and misuse of antibiotics cause it. Antibiotic resistance has a tremendous impact on health; if antibiotics lose their effectiveness, essential medical procedures could become too risky for the patient to perform. Antibiotic resistance is a major health issue in many low and middle-income countries such as Iraq.
