"“What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger”, originally coined by Friedrich
Nietzsche in 1888, is a perfect description of how bacteria develop antibiotic
resistance.
Contrary to a common belief, antibiotic resistance is not about your body
becoming resistant to antibiotics.
Resistance arises when bacteria are exposed to levels of antibiotics that don’t
immediately kill them. They develop defences that prevent the same antibiotic
from harming them in the future, even at higher doses."
