Can acne medicines cause antibiotic resistance?

Resistance to antibiotics is most definitely a big and ever-growing problem in medicine. Resistance means that the medicine no longer works because the bacteria mutate (change) to work around the drug that is trying to kill them. Think of a radar detector and a driver who is bent on speeding without getting caught.

The police keep coming out with better radars to catch people who are speeding, and the drivers keep coming out with better radar detectors to avoid the radars that are trying to nab them. We keep coming up with better antibiotics, but if overused or used inappropriately, we give the bacteria a chance to figure out a way to resist the medicine. Antibiotics are drugs that are used to treat bacterial infections.

Many different antibiotics are available because many different types of bacterial organisms can cause different types of infection in different parts of our bodies. Propionibacterium acnes (P. Acnes) is a type of bacteria that lives only in the follicles of our skin.

We use several specific antibiotics to treat this bacterium, and those antibiotics are pretty selective against only that certain type of bacteria. There is no risk of resistance to other types of bacteria that these antibiotics do not cover. When dermatologists worry about resistance of bacterial organisms to antibiotics, they are mostly worried about resistance of the P.

Acnes to the antibiotics that we are currently using to treat it. When you become resistant to one antibiotic, it does not mean that you are resistant to other antibiotics. For this reason, dermatologists often rotate the antibiotics they use.

Also, after you stop using the drug for a while, the resistance generally goes away and you can effectively use the particular drug again.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
