Infection resistance adaptation refers to the process by which organisms, including humans, develop enhanced abilities to withstand or combat infections over time. This can occur through genetic changes, immune system improvements, or behavioral adaptations that increase survival against pathogens. Such adaptations can arise from natural selection, where individuals better equipped to resist infections are more likely to survive and reproduce. Ultimately, this concept highlights the dynamic interplay between hosts and pathogens in shaping immune responses.
The trait giving bacteria antibiotic resistance has become common, giving bacteria with the trait a selective advantage.

Horizontal gene transfer is a type of adaptation that allows bacteria to acquire antibiotic resistance genes quickly from other bacteria. This process involves the transfer of genetic material between different bacteria, enabling the rapid spread of antibiotic resistance within a population.
