a random mutation occurs in the DNA of individual bacterial cells · the mutation protects the bacterial cell from the effects of the antibiotic - it becomes ...

Mutations can result in antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Resistant bacteria survive antibiotic treatment and can increase in numbers by natural selection.

8 июн. 2022 г. · Bacteria pass on alleles for antibiotic resistance through reproduction (vertical gene transfer) but they can also do it in another way.

Intrinsic resistance refers to the existence of genes in bacterial genomes that could generate a resistance phenotype, i.e., proto- or quasi-resistance.

Antibiotic resistance will eventually occur because of evolutionary natural selection, but the misuse and overuse of antibiotics is dramatically escalating the ...

17 окт. 2011 г. · Bacterial resistance arises through the simple process of natural selection. Bacteria divide rapidly, but DNA replication is imperfect. Once in ...

Antibiotics impose strong selective pressures on microbial populations, which can produce highly repeatable outcomes when bacterial population sizes are large ...
