Question 1(ii)
Can microbes that are not directly exposed to poor quality medicines pose a threat to humans? Support your answer with reference to the text.
Answer:
Yes, microbes that have developed antimicrobial resistance through direct exposure to poor quality medicines can transfer genetic material to other microbes that haven't had such an exposure. This leads to the microbes that are not directly exposed to poor quality medicines developing antimicrobial resistance, thereby posing threat to humans .
