Bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics by a mutation. The bacteria that did not die from the antibiotic inherited the gene from an ancestor that made it resistant. Since the other bacteria is dying faster than the resistant bacteria, the resistant bacteria are able to multiply 402 Words 2...
Antibiotic-Resistant Bacterial Organisms Within 3 years of the introduction ofpenicillin, some strains ofStaphylococcus aureusdeveloped resistance to this drug. By the 1960s, some strains ofS. aureushad become resistant tomethicillin, a semisynthetic penicillin. Until recently, most infections d...

Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria
In such cases, all strains of that bacterial species are likewise resistant to all the members of those antibacterial classes. Of greater concern are cases of acquired resistance, where initially susceptible populations of bacteria become resistant to an antibacterial agent and proliferate and spread ...
