Antibiotic resistance happens when an antibiotic loses its ability to effectively control or kill bacteria. The bacteria become "resistant" and continue to grow because the antibiotic being administered has no ability to kill them. The World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control ...
Manuel Razo-Mejia:When I expose bacteria to antibiotics, they’re going to become resistant, which is very bad because we haven’t discovered a new antibiotic in the last 30 years. Growing up back in Mexico, you did...
Enterobacter spp.and Serratia spp.Resistance to尾-lactams in Enterobacteriaceae is primarily attributed to the production of B-lactamase enzymes with subsequent antibiotic hydrolysis and to a lesser extent by alteration of efflux pump or porins expression.Carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae(CRE)and ...
Using antibiotics when they are not needed or taking the wrong antibiotic significantly contributes to antibiotic resistance. This is because antibiotics not only kill harmful bacteria, but they can also kill helpful bacteria that may protect you from the harmful bacteria. When helpful bacteria die, ...
Many antibiotics are very specific as to the species of bacteria it wants to target and kill. When developing resistance, this particular bacteria can change parts of itself so it is unrecognizable to the very antibiotic designed to destroy it....
however,give the impression that resistance is everywhere,notes Lance Price,a microbiologist at George Washington University (who was not involved in the study)."We can control this.There's very clear evidence that when we turn off the antibiotic tap,we bring down drug-resis...
By what standards are bacteria classified? Name the classifications. In what two ways do bacteria grow or multiply. Explain these processes. What test is used to detect the presence of coli-forms ? What is antibiotic resistance and how does it arrive in bacteria?

Antibiotic Resistance Antibiotics are powerful germ-fighting tools when used carefully and safely. But up to half of all antibiotic use isn’t necessary. Overuse has led to antibacterial resistance. Bacteria adapt over time and become “super bacteria” or “superbugs.” They change so that antibi...
Metagenomic studies have shown that antibiotic resistance genes are ubiquitous in the environment, which has led to the suggestion that there is a high risk that these genes will spread to bacteria that cause human infections. If this is true, estimating the real risk of dissemination of resistanc...
