TL;DR: Drugs that are resistant to antibiotics have less antibiotics that work on them. It’s impossible to treat an infection if no treatments work.

Rules

No requests for professional advice or general medical information. Please do not solicit medical advice or share personal health anecdotes about yourself or others.
No promotions, advertisements, surveys, or petitions.
Link to high-quality, original research whenever possible: Posts which rely on or reference scientific data (e.g. an announcement about a medical breakthrough) should link to the original research in peer-reviewed medical journals or respectable news sources as judged by the moderators. Sensationalized titles, misrepresentation of results, or promotion of blatantly bad science may lead to removal.
Act professionally and decently: /r/medicine is a public forum that represents the medical community and comments should reflect this. Please keep disagreement civil and focused on issues.
Protect patient confidentiality. Please anonymize cases and remove any patient-identifiable information.
No memes or low-effort posts: Memes, image links (including social media screenshots), images of text, or other low-effort posts or comments are not allowed.

These rules have been modelled after /r/medicine. While some rules were modified or skipped as this is a much smaller community, we can revisit the rules as we go. Thank you :)
