If a bacterial isolate shows intermediate to moderate resistance to an antibiotic bow might this antibiotic still be successfully used in treatment of this microbe?
Pair with something that has a different attack site. DO NOT answer this question on a test with "increase dosage" that will do nothing but make the drug more resistant.
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 one plate would you first inspect to conclude that the transformation occurred successfully Why?
If you transform bacteria with a plasmid containing a selection marker (such as an antibiotic resistance gene) and plate the transformed bacteria on a plate suited for selecting for plasmid-containing bacteria (such as a plate containing an antibiotic that only those bacteria with antibiotic resistance can survive), then simply inspecting whether colonies are present on the plate will suffice in determining whether the transformation succeeded. If no colonies are found, that means no bacteria got the antibiotic resistance gene on the plasmid and the transformation was unsuccessful. If some colonies are found, that means some bacteria contain the plamis containing the antibiotic resistance gene and those colonies can the transformation was successful.
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.
