Self explanatory question, but apparently it is on the increase, despite there being vaccines. Are we becoming less immune to diseases because of our 'clean' lifestyles or is it something else?

No, it's because there are people who contract TB and take the antibiotics, but don't finish the complete cycle of dosing. When you take any antibiotic and don't finish it all the way through you don't kill all of the bacteria, and it mutates! There are now antibiotic resistant strains out there that we don't know how to kill yet because of these people!

Tuberculosis is treated by antibiotics, however some strains have become resistant. Antibiotics are being prescribed for so many things that don't require them, that it causes diseases to mutate faster and become resistant.Tuberculosis is very contagious and an antibiotic resistant strand can take several months to treat(that is, if you survive). B/c TB is so contagious, and b/c of the growing populations in cities, people live closer together and TB can spread faster and easier.

People do not finish their treatment. People with Aids are more prone to it. Unlike other people in other nations, Americans are not vaccinated against it when they are born
