c. Radio nucleotide
d. Industries
Solution
Antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics are antimicrobial medicines that are used to prevent and treat infections in humans, animals, and plants. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve and lose their ability to respond to antibiotics, making infections more difficult to treat and increasing the risk of disease transmission, severe illness, and death.
Complete answer:
Superbugs are bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi that have developed resistance to the majority of antibiotics and other medications used to treat the infections they cause. Resistant bacteria that can cause pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and skin infections are just a few examples of superbugs.
Antimicrobial resistance (drug resistance) is a natural occurrence that can be slowed but not stopped. Bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi adapt to the drugs that are designed to kill them over time and change to survive.
As a result, previously effective treatments for some infections have become less effective, and in some cases ineffective. Researchers are still trying to figure out how these germs develop resistance. They also look into how to detect, treat, and prevent antibiotic resistance.
Superbugs are bacteria strains that have developed resistance to the majority of antibiotics currently in use. These resistant bacteria can cause pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and a variety of other difficult-to-treat and potentially fatal diseases.
So, the superbugs are bacteria.
Thus, the answer is option B: Bactria.
Note: CRE is a bacteria family that is commonly found in our stomachs, but some strains can cause life-threatening blood infections and are antibiotic-resistant. This bacteria's superbug strain, Acinetobacter baumannii, can be found in soil, water, and the skin. It develops antibiotic resistance faster than other bacteria and is most common in hospitals.
