People do not develop a resistance to antibiotics, instead bacteria in the body resist the effects of the antibiotic. The bacteria changes somehow and instead of the antibiotic eliminating it, the bacteria survives and continues to cause harm and infection. Some bacteria neutralizes the antibiotic, others fight and flush out the antibiotic, and the others modify where the antibiotic goes.
What else can I help you with?
What does resistant or susceptible mean?
These terms refer to antibiotic sensitivities; antibiotic resistant organisms versus antibiotic susceptible organisms.
What is antibiotic resistant bacteria?
Also known as "superbugs", antibiotic resistant bacteria have evolved to a point that our usual antibiotics won't kill them. VRE and MRSA are common forms of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
How is antibiotic resistance observed in bacteria in light of Darwinian selection theory?
A random mutation causes one bacterium to become resistant to an antibiotic. Then all the others are killed when the antibiotic is introduced to the environment. The mutated bacterium is free to reproduce and soon many members of that species are resistant to that antibiotic.
What is antibiotic resistant bacterium is?
superbug.
Which is bacteria is most harmful?
it's HT104 because it is resistant to any one of antibiotic
Why has there been a large increase of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria?
Overuse of traditional antibiotics has caused a selection of those bacteria that are resistant to the antibiotic.
Why does an antibiotic not work the same for all bacteria?
Bacteria also do evolve. If one bacteria is mutated, and survives an attack by antibiotic, he multiplies and forms more bacteria which are more resistant against antibiotic. As days of surviving antibiotics and multiplying eventually creates a bacteria which is resistant against it.
What is an antibiotype?
An antibiotype is a set of organisms which are resistant to a particular antibiotic.
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 might individual bacterium become resistant to an antibiotic?
Individual bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics through mechanisms such as mutations that prevent the antibiotic from binding to its target, acquiring resistance genes through horizontal gene transfer, or creating biofilms that protect them from the antibiotic's effects. These mechanisms allow the bacteria to survive and reproduce in the presence of the antibiotic, leading to the development of resistant bacterial populations.
With respect to the problem of antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis which entity evolves?
bacterium
What antibiotic is good for strep throat?
Strep is resistant to antibiotics.
