Hi there!
i had just found out that when an antibiotic be an excess, it produces pathogenic bacteria that cause diffrerent diseases.
can you answer this for me??
1. can you site some plants which will help us in getting rid of this pathogenic bacteria??
2. what specific chemical compound can fight to this pathogenic bacteria??
the submition date is fast approaching and i didn'tt even have my topic.Huhu
thanks again!

Lizette,

It is true that bacteria do become resistant to antibiotics. This is one of the reason that there is concern that we are creating "superbacteria" by overusing antibiotics.

As to specific plants that fight antibacterial-resistant bacteria, I would reccomend a trip to your local library to look up books and articles dealing with this subject. You may also find a web search helpful.

There is no specific chemical compound that can be used to fight all bacteria. Are you familiar with cellular structures and processes? with how bacteria make people sick? If not, I would highly reccomend a thorough literature search to find out, as such knowledge will be crucial to the success of your project.

Thanks for the info.
i think i should enggage in thorough researching.

To further refine your research, it's not when an individual patient is given an excess of antibiotics that resistent bacteria develop, it's when many patients are given antibiotics who don't really need them, and one/some of them develop resistant bacteria.
