sease-causing microbe making it resistant to a drug and thus rendering the drug useless in treating a specific disease.

Answer:

The reason why drug-resistance mutations reduce certain enzymes activities is due to their inhibition because they cannot give bacterial respond to antibiotics.

Explanation:

In addition, drug-resistance mutations contain fully evaded instruments which complicate the effectiveness of certain antibiotics, for example, penicillin.
