Description: Running Time : 5minutes Overview: The most effective means available against bacterial infectious diseases is the administration of antibacterial drugs that kill or inactivate the bacteria. When so many of these drugs are overprescribed, however, bacteria that have developed a resistance to a number of such drugs will likely emerge.
