Answer:

Trypanosoma brucei

Explanation:

T. brucei is a unicellular eukaryotic parasite that causes sleeping sickness. This organism has an elongated body, central nucleus, only an elongated mitochondria housing the kinetoplast, where the mitochondrial DNA is located; It has a scourge that gives it motility. Its undulating cell membrane, as a result of flagellar movements, is covered with glycoproteins that elicit little immune reaction, allowing this parasite to go unnoticed.

This organism infects the host by evading the host's immune system by altering its surface proteins with each generation.

Why gene flow isn’t the cause of antibiotic resistance
romanna [79]

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance continues to become worse, despite the ever-increasing resources devoted to combat the problem. One of the most important factors in the development of resistance to antibiotics is the remarkable ability of bacteria to share genetic resources via Lateral Gene Transfer (LGT).

LGT occurs on a global scale, such that in theory, any gene in any organism anywhere in the microbial biosphere might be mobilized and spread. With sufficiently strong selection, any gene may spread to a point where it establishes a global presence. From an antibiotic resistance perspective, this means that a resistance phenotype can appear in a diverse range of infections around the globe nearly simultaneously. We discuss the forces and agents that make this LGT possible and argue that the problem of resistance can ultimately only be managed by understanding the problem from a broad ecological and evolutionary perspective. We also argue that human activities are exacerbating the problem by increasing the tempo of LGT and bacterial evolution for many traits that are important to humans.
