Many bacteria develop immunity to certain antibiotics over time. As we continue to use said antibiotics to fight infection the risk of bacteria becoming immune grows. This is why there is a constant need to develop variants of antibiotics to stay ahead of resistance.

Answer:

Today, drug-resistant infections are a serious threat to people's health. Hundreds of thousands of lives are lost every year because of infections that can no longer be treated with existing drugs. Discovering new antibiotics, able to kill drug-resistant bacteria, is essential to saving modern medicine.

Which of the following bacterial cells would best be able to survive an attack by an antibiotic?
Goryan [66]

Answer:

c. A bacterial cell that lacked receptors on its surface for that antibiotic

Explanation:

If the bacteria lacks the receptors on its surface meant for that antibiotic then it will be best defense for the survival of that bacteria. It is receptors which interact with the antibiotic so as to permit it inside the cell. Therefore, in the absence of receptors, it doesn't matter how much antibiotic is lying in the external environment of that bacteria, the antibiotic will not be able to enter the bacterial cell to kill it. Hence, the bacteria will be able to survive easily.
