Question

Which of the following are the reasons for the occurrence of multi-drug resistance in microbial pathogens in India? 1. Genetic predisposition of some people 2. Taking incorrect doses of antibiotics to cure diseases 3. Using antibiotics in livestock farming 4. Multiple chronic diseases in some people Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Accepted Answer

2 and 3 only. Statements 2 and 3 are correct, so the answer is 2 and 3 only. Taking incorrect doses of antibiotics lets resistant germs survive. WHO names misuse, such as taking the wrong type of antibiotic, as a main driver. Using antibiotics in livestock farming also adds to resistance, and the Press Information Bureau counts misuse in humans, animals and plants. Statement 1 is wrong because resistance comes from genetic changes in the germs, not in people. Statement 4 is wrong because WHO's key factors name no condition of the patient. So options (a), (c) and (d) fail, since each includes statement 1 or 4. Memory hook: wrong doses and farm use are the causes, but a person's genes are not.
