basically they want you to discuss the future implications of Antibiotic resistance... but here are some links that should help:

http://people.ku.edu/~jbrown/resistance.htm
http://www.cdc.gov/drugresistance/community/
http://www.disability.vic.gov.au/ds...l_and_viral_infections_explained?OpenDocument

hope the help. pm if ur still stuck

when antibiotics kill the bacteria, sometimes there are naturally resistant one that survive. these multiply without the competition of the other dead bacteria, thus creating a new antibiotic resistant strain of bacteria. with the overuse of antibiotics and cleaning agents with an antibiotic effect, the chances of producing resistant strains of the bacteria (called "superbugs") are increased so teh effectiveness of the antibiotic is reduced or made unable to kill the bacteria.

secondary sources just means that you don't have to find out the information first hand (i.e. not through experimentation). it doesn't matter where you get the info from so EXCELL should be fine.
