If antibiotics had not been discovered, how would society most likely have been affected? people would be more likely to die from infections. people would have to worry more about antibiotic-resistant diseases. people would take more preventative measures to avoid getting infections. people would have developed resistance to the diseases that are caused by bacteria.

People would be more likely to die from infections.

Explanation:

If antibiotics had not been discovered, people would be more likely to die from infections.

People would need not worry about the issues of antibiotic resistance if there are no antibiotics in the first place.

No matter how preventive people are from getting bacterial infections, infections cannot be totally prevented because bacteria are everywhere around us.

People would have developed resistance to the disease that are caused by some bacteria but those bacteria would also mutate and cause even stronger disease as evolution is a continuous process.

Hence, the most correct statement is that people would be more likely to die from infections if antibiotics had not been discovered.
