Antibiotic-resistant bacteria: why are they so successful?
Answer to: Discuss why many bacteria have become resistant to the antibiotics that were once used to destroy them By signing up, you'll get...
How do bacteria become resistant to antibiotics? Your answer should include the concepts of mutation and natural selection. Why are some bacteria intrinsically resistant to some antibiotics? What is antibiotic resistance and how does it arrive in bacteria? What bacteria are ge...
and will survive and multiply. If this happens on a large enough scale, the bacteria will become resistant to that antibiotic, and you’ll need a new antibiotic. The scary thing is thatantibiotic resistance is developing at a frightening speed– faster than the discovery...
past encounters with antibiotic producers. Unless the resistance element provides a significant fitness cost, such elements should persist in the chromosome unscathed, though perhaps transcriptionally attenuated. The number of ‘silent’ resistant elements in the chromosome of bacteria supports this ...
How does antibiotic resistance occur?According to the CDC, each year, at least 2.8 million people in the U.S. become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and at least 35,000 people die as a direct result of these infections....
Researchers fear that this may be the largest source of antibiotic-resistant bacteria andendanger public health. And our future as a species depends on still having antibiotics that actually work! Another public health threat isfoodborne illnesses, with salmonella, typically found in raw eggs and mea...
Vancomycin was once called the "last line of defense" against drug-resistant bacteria. However, with its widespread use, Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus and Staphylococcus aureus have gradually emerged.As a special class antibiotic, Vancomycin should be strictly used according to the indications to ...
Vancomycin has long been considered the antibiotic of last resort against seriousand multi-drug-resistant infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. However, vancomycin resistance has emerged, first in enterococci and, more recently, in Staphylococcus aureus. ...
