What is antibiotic resistance? 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...
What is Antibiotic Resistance?Gunnar Kahlmeter
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, ...
tolerant bacteria often exist in a dormant state, neither growing nor dying but putting up with the antibiotic until they can �reawaken� once the stress is gone. Tolerance has been
What is the main use of plasmids in biotechnology? Why are plasmids so widely used in recombinant DNA studies? Briefly discuss the role of two different accessory genomes that can contribute to antibiotic resistance in specifically named bacteria. ...

I try to buy food that was produced without the use of antibiotics, and I guess antibiotic resistance is a good reason to keep doing it. Antibiotics are a wonderful thing. They have helped us so much. But there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. And it sounds like antibio...
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...
⑤The findings should not,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...
