Down below

Step-by-step explanation:

An antibiotic is medication usually prescribed by a doctor to someone who has an illness or ailment of some type that requires medication help. Resistance means to fight against something or be immune to something.

Antibiotic resistance means to be immune to the medication, or it has no effect on the ailment the antibiotic was supposed to be fighting against. Antibiotic resistance can happen from not continuously taking the antibiotics. When this happens, the ailment builds up the antibodies to fight against it. So the next time someone takes the antibiotics, the ailment won't go away because it's now immune to the antibiotics.
