What happens to bacteria over time when exposed to antibiotics frequently?
Bacteria can develop resistance to antibiotics through genetic mutations or by acquiring resistance genes from other bacteria. Over time, the resistant bacteria population can grow, making the antibiotics less effective in treating infections caused by those bacteria. This can lead to treatment failure and the need for more powerful antibiotics.
Types of scientists involved in using antibiotics?
Microbiologists study bacteria and resistance mechanisms, pharmacologists develop new antibiotics and study drug interactions, epidemiologists track antibiotic usage and resistance rates, and clinicians prescribe antibiotics and monitor patients for treatment effectiveness.
Which of the antibiotic resistance does your plasmid contain?
The plasmid contains genes that confer resistance to several antibiotics, including ampicillin and kanamycin. These resistance genes enable bacteria to survive in the presence of these antibiotics, allowing for selection during experiments. The presence of such resistance markers is commonly used in molecular cloning to identify successfully transformed cells.
Which biological agent may be susceptible to antibiotic's but can develope resistance?
Bacteria are biological agents that are susceptible to antibiotics but can develop resistance through genetic mutations or acquiring resistance genes from other bacteria. Overuse or misuse of antibiotics can accelerate this process, leading to the development of drug-resistant bacterial strains.
A bacterial disease becomes difficult to cure when the bacteria?
develop resistance to antibiotics, making them less effective in treating the infection. This resistance can occur through genetic mutations or the acquisition of resistance genes from other bacteria through horizontal gene transfer. As a result, common antibiotics may no longer be able to kill the bacteria, leading to treatment failures.
When bacteria are not affected by antibiotics they have?
They have resistance to the antibiotic.
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"
What has the author M C Bryant written?

Describe one concern about the overuse of antibiotics?
resistance
Which is the plasmid that increases resistance to antibiotics?
R-plasmid
How can doctors prevent further antibiotics resistance happening?
By using the antibiotics when you are really sick, not when you have a cold or something minor.
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 type of scientist studies how bacteria are affected by antibiotics?
A microbiologist or medical scientist would study how bacteria are affected by antibiotics. They can investigate how bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics and explore new ways to combat antibiotic resistance.
What are some antibiotics?
Penicillin is just one, but there are a lot more. Their uses depend on particular bacterial species and antibiotics resistance.
Do you take antibiotics for mono?
NO! Mononucleosis is caused by a virus. Antibiotics have no effect on viruses and can increase bacterial antibiotic resistance when misused.
Which biological agent may susceptible to antibiotics but can develop resistance?
bacteria
