The effect of a mutation that inactivates Neisseria gonorrhea's genes for fimbriae is antibiotic resistance and decreased ability to infect
Antibiotic resistance arises when bacteria adapt to the usage of these medications. Antibiotic resistance develops in bacteria rather than in people or animals. These bacteria can infect humans and animals, and their infections are more difficult to treat than infections caused by non-resistant bacteria.
Antibiotic usage is the primary cause of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotics kill certain germs, but resistant bacteria can live and even reproduce. Antibiotic usage increases the prevalence of resistant bacteria. The more antibiotics we use, the more likely bacteria will develop resistance to them.
