How do individual pathogens develop resistance?
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.
How can bacterial populations develop drug resistance and share that resistance with other bacteria?
resistance mechanisms often carried by plasmids can be easily transmitted in bacterial populations by conjugation
What biological agents may be susceptible to antibiotics but can develop resistance?
These are the bacteria.Bacteria are (usually) single-celled microorganisms consisting of cytoplasm surrounded by a cell wall. They contain genes, but these are not in a nucleus separated from the cytoplasm as is the case in many other organisms eg animals and plants.Bacteria may be killed by antibiotics but can develop resistance to the anitbiotic. This ocurs when antibiotics are used unnecessarily or a course of tablets is not finished. Any individual bacterial cells which can resist the antibiotic will survive and reproduce, passing ion the genes for resistance to their offspring. The resistant individuals will therefore become more common. This is an example of how natural selection works.See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic_resistance
What happens to bacteria over time when exposed to antibiotics frequently?
They develop resistance to antibiotics .
What are four reasons for knowing which microorganisms are associated with different parts of the body?
(1) To gain an understanding of the different microorganisms at specific body locations, which provides greater insight into the possible infections that might result from injury to these body sights (2) To develop a knowledge of the native microorganisms in any one part of the body, which helps the clinician put in perspective the possible source and significance of microorganisms isolated in clinical infections (3) To gain a knowledge of indigenous microbiota that aids in understanding the consequences of overgrowth of those microorganisms normally absent at a specific body site (4) To develop an increasing awareness of the role these indigenous microbiota play in stimulating the host in immune response, which provides protection against microorganisms that might otherwise cause disease.

How does pesticide resistance develop over time?
The pesticide resistance develops over time due to the natural selection.
Why is a solid medium used to purify microorganisms?
Solid medium is used to purify microorganisms so that the microorganism can develop pure colonies quickly. The most commonly used solid medium is agar.

Does type 2 diabetes cause insulin deficiency or insulin resistance?
Insulin resistance is caused by obesity and a family history of insulin resistance. You can develop insulin resistance without these, but it's rare. Insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes. A type 1 diabetic can develop insulin resistance the same way anyone else does, but becoming obese and by having insulin resistance in the family. In this case, the insulin resistance and the type 1 diabetes are totally unrelated.
