In "News in Health", in the article "Stop the Spread of Superbugs", the authors claim that the way we have used antibiotics has contributed to the rise of superbugs. The part of the article that has information that best supports this claim is C. details about how slow diagnostic testing can lead to unnecessary or incorrect prescriptions.

In this article, the authors claim that superbugs are drug-resistant bacteria. They are spreading, thriving and infecting even healthy people. One of the reasons for this is that sometimes antibiotics are prescribed for viruses, which they don't fight. Other times, a mild antibiotic is prescribed before having the test results. It is important to try to stay healthy by washing hands or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. And, it is important to stop superbugs, to take antibiotics only when it is absolutely necessary.
