Dr.
Boamah highlighted a critical point about the current ineffectiveness of many antibiotics. "Currently, most of the antibiotics are not responding because normally it's due to poor use of antibiotics or prescriptions, but it has also been shown that this heavy metal induces some antimicrobial resistance."
