Is antibiotic resistance a mere part of evolution?

This summer, I took on a personal challenge to draw a comic to raise awareness about how antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria emerges and transmits from one bacterium to another. I was frustrated that I knew so much about AMR (from the research project I was doing) but wasn’t doing my part to raise more awareness about it. And I also wanted to give drawing a try. I always found sketches and comics a great way to convey information, so here’s my take on it!
