We can reduce it by using different antibiotics, by using them less often and fight the illness in a different maybe natural way and finally by taking the whole course of the antibiotics instead of just taking them until you feel better.

What is an example of direct evidence for evolution is... genetic changes in plants antibiotic resistance in bacteria pesticide resistance in insects or all of the above?
genetic changes in plants, antibiotic resistance in bacteria, and pesticide resistance in insects.
What are two examples of biological resistance?
antibiotic/warfarin
True or false cells containing a plasmid with an antibiotic resistance gene will die in the presence of the antibiotic?
false
Is resistance to antibiotics permanent?
No, resistance to antibiotics is not permanent. However, once you have a resistance, that antibiotic will no longer work for specific infections.
What type of gene is used to distinguish bacteria that carry a plasmid containing foreign DNA from those that don' t?
The plasmid that contains foreign DNA is engineered to also carry an antibiotic resistance gene. This antibiotic resistance gene codes for a protein that is able to inactivate an antibiotic thus keeping the cell alive. In the absence of the antibiotic resistance gene, the cells would not survive when exposed to an antibiotic. After transfection (the process of inserting the plasmid carrying the foreign gene into cells), the cells are gown in media containing an antibiotic. Cells that contain the plasmid (and therefore contain the antibiotic resistance gene) are able to survive in this medium. Cells that do not contain the plasmid (and therefore lack the antibiotic resistance gene) do not survive in this medium. The process described above is called selection
What is the Medical term meaning superbug infection?
Antibiotic resistance is a type of drug resistance where a microorganism is able to survive exposure to an antibiotic.
How is antibiotic resistance an adaptation?
The trait giving bacteria antibiotic resistance has become common, giving bacteria with the trait a selective advantage.
Has antibiotic resistance affected endocarditis?
Unfortunately, in recent years, the treatment of endocarditis has become more complicated as a result of antibiotic resistance
What is an example of direct evidence for evolution is... genetic changes in plants antibiotic resistance in bacteria pesticide resistance in insects or all of the above?
genetic changes in plants, antibiotic resistance in bacteria, and pesticide resistance in insects.
When bacteria are not affected by antibiotics they have?
They have resistance to the antibiotic.
Antibiotic in gene cloning?
If antibiotic resistance is added to the gene being cloned, antibiotics can be used to isolate the transformed bacteria (ones with the gene being cloned) by killing off all non-transformed bacteria, that don't have the antibiotic resistance. There is a chance that the non-transformed bacteria can mutate to develop antibiotic resistance.
Is it true cells containing a plasmid with an antibiotic resistance gene will die in the presence of the antibiotic?
false
What can gene for antibiotic resistance be used for?
genetic marker
What are two examples of biological resistance?
antibiotic/warfarin
How can specialized transduction contribute to the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in a bacterial population?
The prophage takes an antibiotic resistance gene with it and is packaged with the newly synthesized viral DNA.
True or false cells containing a plasmid with an antibiotic resistance gene will die in the presence of the antibiotic?
false
Is resistance to antibiotics permanent?
No, resistance to antibiotics is not permanent. However, once you have a resistance, that antibiotic will no longer work for specific infections.
