From what I&#x27;ve read, the antibiotics can be phased out, and then later, phased back in.<p>Because the competition is so high, the bacteria can&#x27;t afford the energy&#x2F;resources to continue resistance to antibiotics that aren&#x27;t in use--they are out-competed.<p>Therefore, currently ineffective antibiotics will become effective again in the future.<p>That said, I did not read if this is being practiced already.
