Antibiotics play a big part in that but they are also a big part bacteria is getting stronger. Antibacterial resistance in bacteria would mean the population would take a huge hit. Infections may become incurable and would require amputation. If the infection gets too bad, death. We would depend on our immune system far more in hospitals and will lose many lives.
