Question

6

An antibiotic label says to take it for fourteen days. If we stop taking the medication after ten days, what would most likely
happen to the bacteria in our body?
A The bacteria causes the human immune system to stop producing antibodies to fight disease.
B A population of bacteria resistant to the antibiotic appears.
The strain of bacteria allows the human immune system to build up resistance.
The bacteria builds up a resistance to all types of antibiotics, turning into a "superbug".

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

This actually happened to me! Since you don't fully kill off all the bacteria, they will mutate and become resistant to the medication. The 14 days ensures that the bacteria will all be killed whereas 10 days allows the stronger organisms to grow and reproduce(where they typically are immune/build an immunity)
