Answer:

The fern may be 650 million years

Explanation:

Fossilization of organisms and plants took place many years ago. Fossils are remains of plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and single celled living things that have been replaced by rock material or impressions of organisms preserved in the rocks. This happened when there was an anaerobic decomposition of burried dead organisms and plants that contained energy derived from photosynthesis. The organisms fossilized and became preserved in rocks.

MRSA has emerged as a serious infectious disease, with the first case of methicillin-resistant S. aureus being detected in 1961.
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

All of the options are true for a MRSA infection.

Explanation:

<em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> is one of the most frequent pathogens causing hospital and community infections. <em>S. aureus</em> can become very easy methicillin resistant (called MRSA isolates) and others beta-lactam antibiotics (are the ones widely used to treat infections) and usually can be resistant to other class of antibiotics, become a  very strong bacteria making treatment options very limited. MRSA isolates can rapidly transfer the methicillin resistance to other species of S<em>taphylococcus</em> and some other bacteria. Also <em>S. aureus</em> can acquire other antibiotic resistant genes making a deadly bacterium for its strong resistance. It is in search how the bacterium acquire this antibiotics resistance ( and other virulence factors genes) and the mechanism involve to develop new drugs to treat  MRSA infections  with the hope that can´t develop resistance to this new drugs.
