Title: Antibiotics are always answer
Author: Centers for Disease control and prevention (CDC)

The argument is not persuasive because this article mainly has all the things you should do or not do while taking an antibiotic and it also states what kind of infections are treated by the antibiotic and what kinds are not. For example only bacterial infections are treated but viral infections are not treated by the antibiotics. There are data in this article that supports my argument and is very persuasive in informing others for the overuse of the antibiotic. It mentions when to take antibiotics and when to stop taking it. Always to finish your medication course so all the bacteria dies out completely in your body. Therefore, decreasing the risk of causing the drug resistance bacteria. This article is straight forward and there are some data's that may be more important to get readers attention but according to me all the data's are as important. Author is trying to inform people what things to do and what not to do, when you should take antibiotics and when you should avoid it. Author is assuming for everyone to take the antibiotics prescribed by the doctor and not to overuse it or not to stop using it until your treatment course has been completed. Sometimes may people stops taking antibiotics when they start to feel better and never complete the medication course, this causes the drug resistance bacteria and there are more chances of you getting sick with the same bacteria again! This is the primary text because it come from the CDC the government organization who controls and prevents diseases. This text gives further details on what diseases is bacterial and virus infection. There are many similarities between this article and the mayo clinic article. Both of them shows the harmful effects and how the misuse of antibiotics causes drug resistance bacteria. The critical question of how to avoid or prevent the misuse has been answered in the articles of the mayo clinic and CDC. It states that we should not use antibiotics in viral infections because viruses can't be destroyed by antibiotics only bacteria can.
