How do antibiotics resist?

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria evolve mechanisms to survive exposure to antibiotics, rendering the drugs ineffective. This can happen through various means, such as genetic mutations, acquiring resistance genes from other bacteria, or altering their cell structures to block antibiotic entry. Additionally, some bacteria produce enzymes that inactivate antibiotics. Overuse and misuse of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture accelerate this process, leading to the emergence of resistant strains.
