Solution

The statement that is an example of patient noncompliance that accelerates resistance to antimicrobial drugs is: "A patient stops taking his amoxicillin that he was prescribed for strep throat because he felt better after 5 of 10 doses."

This is because when a patient does not complete the full course of an antibiotic, it can lead to the survival of some bacteria that are slightly more resistant to the drug. These bacteria can then multiply, leading to an infection that is more difficult to treat. Over time, this can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance.
