Opinion: Why Aren't We Asking Where Antibiotic Resistance Comes From?
Original: Opinion | We Keep Treating Resistant Infections. We Rarely Ask Where the Resistance Came From.

The author suggests the medical conversation should shift toward tracing how resistance emerges and spreads, not just managing its consequences in patients.
Why now: Growing concern over antimicrobial resistance is prompting debate about prevention versus treatment.
