Don’t forget about the prevalence of “antibacterials” in soaps and cleansers. Really bad idea.

In addition to mutation of the drug target gene itself, or developing mechanisms to inactivate the drug, block it from binding its target, prevent its uptake or increase its efflux, resistance can be transferred from one strain to another by gene transfer- is that what you are referring to Health when you said that bacteria “talk” to each other?
