Biology

Bacteria have different phage resistance mechanisms, such as spontaneous mutations, the CRISPR-Cas system.

Spontaneous mutations are the main mechanisms leading to phage resistance by altering the structure of bacterial wall components that act as phage receptors. These include lipopolysaccharides (LPS), outer membrane proteins, cell wall teichoic acids, capsules, and other bacterial components.

How has increased global travel boosted the spread of certain species?

<h3>Global travel and spread of certain species</h3>

Explanation:

Many pathogenic species of bacteria, virus, and other microbes are more prevalent in developing or tropical countries rather than in developed countries.

When an individual’s immune system is weak they become more susceptible to get infected and become carriers of that particular species.

The species grows, develops, and multiplies in the host’s body and when the traveler travels to his/her home country or any other place he/she can transmit the disease to others and again the species grows in numbers. Higher the rate of spread of infection higher is the increase in species.
