A friend was recently diagnosed with strep throat. One week after his treatment, he redeveloped the infection. In conversation, your friend tells you, "I must have become immune to the drug the doctor gave me!" a. Discuss the validity of your friend's statement, providing evidence in support of or refuting his claim. b. After further conversation, your friend tells you that he stopped taking his initial antibiotics after 2 days because he "felt 100% better."

Talk about the immune system and the reasoning behind these diseases.
