Drug resistance in gonorrhea is chromosomal or plasmid-mediated. It is an increasing problem that is limiting treatment options for the infection.
It is when a certain bacteria resists a drug such as antibiotics
germs which resist the medication can reproduce other germs which have the same genetic makeup because they're not dead...thats how drug resistance starts.
Those pathogens that survive the drug attack and then reproduce progeny having this same resistance is a classic selection scenario.
it's Gonorrhea not ganaria and its a sexual transmitted disease
Gonorrhea
resistance mechanisms often carried by plasmids can be easily transmitted in bacterial populations by conjugation
Drug resistance develops so rapidly because bacteria reproduce extremely quickly, giving a better chance for ones with resistance to develop and spread.
Drug Abuse Resistance EducationThank you for your apprecitation
Individual pathogens can develop resistance to antimicrobial drugs through several mechanisms. These include acquiring genes that code for drug resistance, mutations that render the drug targets less susceptible to the drugs, and the ability to pump out or destroy the drugs. These adaptations occur through genetic changes that give the pathogens a survival advantage and allow them to evade the action of the drugs.
exactly what it says. it is a mechanism that confers drug resistance to microbes. exactly what it says. it is a mechanism that confers drug resistance to microbes.
Drug Abuse Resistance Education was created in 1983.
Drug-resistant yeast infections, as the name implies, are yeast infections that have reached a stage where the infection, or the rather the cause of it, has managed to build-up a resistance to the drug-based medication(s) being used at the time.

Diagnosis of a drug overdose may be based on the symptoms that develop, however, the drug may do extensive damage to the body before significant symptoms develop.
