Antibiotic Resistance

I just found an interesting article about the resistivity of many bacteria to antibiotics. The article explains that some bacteria are evolving and building up immunities to the antibiotics that used to kill them. This concept is important as we continue to try to fight off infectious diseases. The article also gives possible actions to take to reduce bacteria resistivity.
