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 is meant by cross resistance in bacteria against two different antibiotics?
when two different antibiotics are taken simultaneously againt multi bacterial infections cross resistance in the bacteria results
What is cross resistance in bacteria for two different antibiotics?
"Bacterial cross-resistance happens when the two antibiotics that are being taken have very similar actions"
How have bacteria evolved resistance to penicillin?
natural selection, if a victim of a bacterial disease takes penicillin and the bacteria survives it is spread and reproduces, but those that don't have more resistance are either destroyed or have lower numbers
How could you explain the increase of infection in hospitals by antibiotic-resistance bacterial?
Bacteria become resitant to antibiotics by evolution .
Is toxic shock syndrome a bacterial infection?
Yes, Toxic Shock syndrome (TSS) is a bacterial infection where certain bacteria release toxins into the body. The bacteria responsible are staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus pyogenes.
How bacteria get mutated against certain drug?
The mutations are random and confer on some members of the bacterial population resistance to certain drugs and these members are the ones selected to survive and reproduce the next population of bacteria with the resistance to these certain drugs.
How is the presence of antibiotic resistance used as a marker in bacterial transformation?
Antibiotics will kill off all of the bacteria that have not mutated and formed a resistance to the drug. Those that have a resistance to the antibiotics will survive and multiply into many resistant bacterium. This continuously facilitates the production of new kinds of antibiotic resistant bacteria
The scientists responsible for the discovery of bacterial transformation is?
The scientist responsible for the discovery of bacteria is Griffith.
Can you take cipro for a cold?
No. Cipro ONLY works on bacterial infections. When you catch a cold or the flu you do not have a bacterial infection, you have a virus. No antibiotics work on any type of viral infections.
Is leprosy a virus or bacteria?
it is a bacterial infection which is a bacteria
What is the advantage of conjugants?
Bacterial conjugation? When two bacteria conjugate one, or both, receive a plasmid from the other containing a few genes. This adds to the bacterial genetic diversity but, more importantly, these few genes could confer resistance to pathogenic agencies that one bacteria has now given the other bacteria.
