Antibiotics make conditions favorable for the overgrowth of microbes with acquired resistance. Normal flora, present at all times, can develop resistance and can transfer this resistance to pathogens if they occur. Even when pathogens are not present, antibiotic use can promote resistance in the future. Antibiotics are not mutagenic. Host cells are not affected. Antibiotic use does not increase the risk of nosocomial infection in a particular patient but does increase resistance in resident organisms in a particular hospital.
