What is a likely adverse impact of the evolution of bacteria on the management of infectious disease? (A) Viruses become resistant to antibiotics - HSC - SSCE Biology - Question 11 - 2014 - Paper 1

The evolution of bacteria can lead to the development of antibiotic resistance. As bacteria adapt and evolve, they may acquire the ability to survive despite the presence of antibiotics. This reduced effectiveness of treatments poses significant challenges in managing infectious diseases, making it increasingly difficult for healthcare providers to treat patients effectively.
