The increased use of antibiotics in the United States has resulted in the bacteria or microbiomes that result in people getting sick to become immune to the medicines therefore the antibiotics become void because they no longer kill the harmful bacteria

With the usage of antibiotics increasingly the microbiomes of people in the United States has lacked the diversity. Due to this there will be inefficiency in the functions of human immune system. Reducing the use of antibiotics reduces the damage to the bacteria in the body helping the growth of these microorganisms called microbiomes.
