How do some of non-resistant bacteria become antibiotic-resistant

Biology

Margarita [4]3 years ago

When an antibiotic is given for a non- resistant bacteria it inactivates or kills the bacteria however some microbes do not die and survive and multiply and pass the infection to other people making the bacteria antibiotic resistant.

Explanation:

The antibiotic resistant bacteria are those that are able to resist the effect of antibiotic and renders them ineffective that was once able to kill or inactivate bacteria.

While antibiotic non-resistant bacteria are those that are not able to resist the effect of antibody.

The reason some non-resistant bacteria becomes resistant is that a mutation in the nonresistant bacteria may occur or continuous exposure of the antibiotic would make it resistant to it.

Every time an antibiotic is taken for some bacterial infection it kills the bacteria but some that survive become resistant and grow in numbers and get transfer to other people causing them to be antibiotic resistance. The infection transfer to other people would not be treated by once used antibiotic as the microbe has become resistant.

During the cell replication due to some mutation caused they get resistant to antibiotic by a process called selective  pressure.

olganol [36]

Answer:

The world climate would drastically change.

Explanation:

  • First off, both poles would have rapid expansion, with the freezing of more water near the poles.
  • Many species of trees and plants would die out in certain areas, since they tend to be in their ideal locations, so the change in climate will make the northern parts of many habitats destroyed.
  • Deserts would expand and the average temperature would rise.
  • Also, many animals would also die out, because of the change in their environments.
  • Conifers would shift southward, causing many forests / parts of forests to turn into wastelands, causing the earth's oxygen production to decrease.
