How do antibiotic resistant strains develop?

A virus or bacteria multiply more rapidly and use energy from the body's healthy cells. They also can mimic healthy cells, or create more virulent strains during reproduction of cells. This may challenge immune system responses, and thus fever, sore muscles, and fatigue develop. Here a doctor will prescribe an antiobiotic, to shorten the duration of the achiness, tired muscles, and fever. Frequently a bacteria is not the root cause of illness but a virus is, and viruses do not respond to antibiotics. They may reproduce rapidly, and eventually mutate into new strains, particularly if taking antibiotics that do not cure or halt them. Because antibiotics, and even antibacterial soaps, cleansers and the like have been used so widely, the mutatiions or reproductions have been able to become stronger and more deadly.

This has caused the outbreak of MRSA, to develop, which is a community wide bacteria.Until more advanced solutions come along, people are sticking to tried-and-true advice any doctor would offer: Wash your hands, and wash them often.
