Chloramphenicol is one of the broad spectrum antibiotic used to treat typhoid fever. Resistance occur by way of mutation in ribosomes, By way of decreased permeability of cell wall and production of inactivating enzyme.

How can bacterial populations develop drug resistance and share that resistance with other bacteria?

Bacterial populations can develop drug resistance through mutations that make them less susceptible to antibiotics. They can also acquire resistance genes from other bacteria through mechanisms like conjugation, transformation, or transduction, allowing them to share resistance traits. This exchange of genetic material can lead to the rapid spread of drug resistance among bacterial populations.

What is the chemical composition of Chloroamphenicol suspforulation?

Chloramphenicol is a complicated molecule with the SMILES formula c1cc(ccc1[C@H]([C@@H](CO)NC(=O)C(Cl)Cl)O)[N+](=O)[O-]. If you don't read SMILES, that's probably not especially helpful."suspforulation" isn't a real word; I suspect it refers to the formulation and just means that the chloramphenicol is in a water suspension.


Why chloramphenicol causes gray baby syndrome?

Chloramphenicol is metabolized by the liver. A baby's liver is not mature enough to metabolize this drug. Therefore the levels of Chloramphenicol increase in the baby's body, as there is no way for the baby to get rid of the drug. This causes cardiovascular collapse (severe hypotension), cyanosis, flaccidity, and vomiting.


What does the term resistance means in microbiology?

In microbiology, resistance refers to the ability of microorganisms to survive and grow in the presence of antimicrobial agents, such as antibiotics. Microorganisms can develop resistance through various mechanisms, such as genetic mutations or acquiring resistance genes from other organisms. This can pose challenges in the treatment of infectious diseases.
