    This document discusses how antibiotic resistance spreads. It explains that while antibiotics kill harmful germs, some germs evolve to survive exposure to antibiotics. These resistant germs can multiply and share their resistance with other germs. Additionally, antibiotics also kill beneficial germs that protect us, giving resistant germs an advantage to spread further. Once emerged, antibiotic resistance can transfer between settings and countries.
