Antibiotics are drugs that fight infections caused by bacteria. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), overuse of antibiotics such as for the mistreatment of viral infections—means these important drugs are less effective for all of us.
It is estimated that antibiotic resistance causes Americans upwards of $20 billion in additional healthcare costs every year stemming from the treatment of otherwise preventable infections. However, often the wrong antibiotic prescription or over-dependency on antibiotics can actually do more harm then good.
