Number: 333 Antibiotics Bacteria Disease <desc> Description: Determine the reasons why bacteria seems to be winning the war against antibiotics and rendering antibiotics now less effective in treating diseases than they were in the past. <narr> Narrative: A relevant document will address the questions of how and why, and to what degree, bacteria are able to fend off the curative effects of antibiotics.
