In the cases of resistant bacteria in the video, why was teamwork important in fighting the superbugs? Why is teamwork important for dealing with the potential for greater outbreaks of superbugs?

Respuesta :

Superbugs, or antibiotic-resistant bacteria, are especially nasty and requires, as you said, teamwork. These bacteria became resistant to the very agents made to eradicate them. Treating such infections require teamwork by the patient and the doctor. The patient should not take antibiotics unnecessarily and should be monitored by the doctor during treatment. The doctor(s), meanwhile, will consider using several antibiotics and do the monitoring to know if the infection responds to treatment.
