2. Cultivating drug-resistant pathogens: Bacteria evolve rapidly, posing a significant challenge in the history of using antibiotics to fight infections. The biggest risk in this battle is the emergence of various drug-resistant bacteria due to constant mutation. In the scenario of taking amoxicillin daily to boost immunity, it is a classic case of cultivating drug-resistant bacteria. Initially, amoxicillin might kill off sensitive pathogens, but with bacterial reproduction and mutation, some bacteria will no longer be affected by amoxicillin. This is the issue with drug-resistant pathogens. If these pathogens cause an infection, amoxicillin won't work, and other antibiotics may or may not be effective, leading to a high risk of having no effective treatment or needing multiple antibiotics to treat the infection.
