a: Antibiotic ~
b: some alien race

It Only Last So Long....
a: Antibiotic ~
b: a reserve oil field
What: "Think to yourself - each antibiotic is like a reserve oil field. We have used up most of the reserves and are finding fewer and fewer, our need (because of increased population and decreasing effectiveness) is increasing while the flow is rapidly decreasing"

Kill The Good The Bad And The Ugly
a: Antibiotic ~
b: carpet-bombing a battlefield
What: "My advice sprang from the mistaken belief that the good bacteria in her gut had a fighting chance against the bad bacteria. "Honey, taking an antibiotic is like carpet-bombing a battlefield," I told her in confident tones. "You kill off all the good guys as well as the bad guys. Let's see if the good guys rally first.""

a: Antibiotic ~
b: boot camp to a bug
What: "Treatment by antibiotic is like boot camp to a bug," Preston said. ''They learn how to become stronger. To give just one example: The number of inner-ear infections in children has skyrocketed in the last three years. And they are no longer easily treated."

Antibiotic Resistance
a: Antibiotic Resistance ~
b: Pipe with multiple holes
What:
Antibiotic resistance - We tried to solve a big issue with small tools like blocking one hole on a leaky pipe with multiple holes.For some time the leakage of pipe reduces due to block in one hole but eventually,the pressure builds up the pipe can burst.

a: Antibiotic resistant bacteria ~
b: leopard that has no spots
What: These bugs have changed their physiology in a way that makes many antibiotics ineffective. One possible mechanism is a mutation on the site where the antibiotic normally binds with the cell wall. The mutation in the binding site is vaguely similar to a leopard that has no spots. Everyone knows that a leopard is a cat that has spots. If a leopard had a kitten with no spots, a typical observer would not identify it as a leopard. The proteins on surfaces of bacteria can mutate so that antibiotics can not recognize them; therefore they will not bind to the unrecognized protein and deactivate the bacteria. This leopard has lost its spots.
