MRSA is the acronym for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Many of the strains of the common bacterium are also resist

ant to other antibiotics in use today. Resistance is linked to a collection of genes carried on plasmids that are passed on from bacterium to another by conjugation. Suppose a newly discovered, chemically different antibiotic is used in place of methicillin. What would be the most likely effect on Staphylococcus aureus antibiotic resistance?
Transmission of the methicillin-resistance plasmid would gradually decrease but the plasmid would not entirely disappear from the S. aureus population.

Answer:

Transmission of the methicillin-resistance plasmid would gradually decrease but the plasmid would not entirely disappear from the Staphylococcus aureus population.

Explanation:

The main targets for antibiotics in staphylococci are the cell envelope, the ribosome and  nucleic acids. Resistance can either develop by horizontal transfer or by mutations in chromosomal genes. Acquisition of resistance by mutation can result from alteration of the drug target.

What is the sequence of bases on DNA strand b from left to right<br> (See picture)
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

DNA sequence from left to right

T G A G G A C T T

Explanation:

There are four DNA nitogenous base they include thymine, guanine, cytosine and Adenine. The Nitrogenous bases are complementary that is Adenine is complementary to thymine and cytosine is completely to quanine and they both can replace each other in this manner A-T,C-G and it means that Adenine can pair with thymine and cytosine can only pair with guanine. DNA is known as Deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA sequencing are shown usually from the 5' end to the 3' end . The sense strand in DNA is used in DNA sequences and also it has the antisense strand and also called the coding strand and the non-coding strand are information are contained in the sequence
