What are bacteria diseases immune to antibiotics?
Some bacteria have become resistant to antibiotics due to overuse or misuse of these medications. Examples of antibiotic-resistant bacteria include Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), and Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria. These resistant bacteria can cause infections that are more difficult to treat and may require alternative antibiotics.
What is the given name to the bacteria that doesn't respond to antibiotics?
If a microbe is not affected by antibiotics, it is said to be resistant to the antibiotic.
Why is the overuse of antibiotics a problem?
It exposes too many organisms to antibiotics, and exposing them too frequently. This results in the opportunity for the organisms to become resistant to the antibiotics. Antibiotic resistant bacteria are becoming a more and more serious public health threat.
How can the overuse of antibiotics lead to antibiotic resistance in bacteria?
The overuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance in bacteria because it creates a selective pressure that allows resistant bacteria to survive and multiply while non-resistant ones are eliminated. This can happen when bacteria are repeatedly exposed to antibiotics, leading them to develop genetic mutations that make them resistant to the effects of the medication. Over time, these resistant bacteria can spread and become more common, making the antibiotics less effective.
Why is MRSA methacillian resistant?
