Answer:

Antibiotic resistance

Antibiotic resistance is accelerated when the presence of antibiotics pressure bacteria and fungi to adapt. Antibiotics and antifungals kill some germs that cause infections, but they also kill helpful germs that protect our body from infection. The antibiotic-resistant germs survive and multiply.
