Antibiotic resistance?
So I was thinking about this the last week, I’m in pre med rn so I’m not that educated about this yet, but I learnt that you can develop antibiotic resistance by taking antibiotics for viral infections and just in general taking antibiotics when not needed, but my question is how can the bacteria develop resistance that way when they’re not even in contact with the antibiotic at that point, like for example I take an antibiotic for a viral infection, how can the bacteria develop resistance at that point if they’re not present in my body when I took the antibiotic for the viral infection (I rlly hope you guys are understanding what I’m saying) 😭😭 can someone pls explain this to me
