#When [[antibiotic]]s are used again this removes all of the non-resistant [[bacteria]] leaving behind an entire colony of '''antibiotic resistant''' [[bacteria]].
: As a result of [[Evolution by Natural Selection|evolution]] many [[disease]] causing [[bacteria]] can no longer be treated with common [[antibiotic]]s.
: Doctors are concerned that if common [[Pathogenic Bacteria]] become '''antibiotic resistant''' then many [[disease]]s may become untreatable and thousands could die.
===Examples===
*[[MRSA]] - [[Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus]] are a [[strain]] of [[bacteria]] which is not affected by a common [[antibiotic]] known as [[Methicillin]].
*[[Super Gonorrhea]] - This sexually transmitted [[disease]] is resistant to many common [[antibiotic]]s.
