Sometimes, bacteria get a special gift that lets them ignore antibiotics. Imagine you're playing hide and seek with your friends, if one of them gets a superpower to become invisible, they'll never be found! In the same way, some bacteria can change or protect themselves so antibiotics can't hurt them anymore.
Examples
- A kid with a superpower can outsmart a teacher during hide and seek.
- Like how some people get sick even after taking antibiotics, because the bugs were already smart.
