Which Example Below Presents A Misconception About How Antibiotic Resistance Develops?

Individual bacteria and viruses become immune to antibiotics after they are exposed to them. Eventually the antibiotics are useless. If people do not take the full antibiotic treatment as prescribed, some microbes carrying the potential for resistance may be more likely to survive and prosper. Antibiotics are often added to livestock feed. This selects for antibiotic resistance in bacteria found in and around livestock facilities. Thus, many meat products sold in supermarkets contain antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Heavy use of antibiotics in hospitals produces selection pressure for antibiotic resistance in resident bacterial populations.
