Medical professionals are concerned with the increase in the number of bacterial species that are resistant to antibiotics. Once resistance appears in a bacterial population, it spreads rapidly. This is most likely because *

Resistance bacteria survive in greater numbers and pass the trait to their offspring

Explanation:

Antibiotics are chemicals which are used in the treatment of bacterial infections. The bacteria sometimes have some form of immunity or resistance to a particular antibiotic due to a host of underlying factors.

Once resistance appears in a bacterial population, it spreads rapidly. The trait of immunity or resistance to such antibiotic is then passed as a trait from one generation to another.
