In a small village, a doctor over-prescribed Ciprofloxin (an antiobiotic) to his patients. The result was that the majority of his patients had developed a new strain of bacteria that had become resistant to Ciprofloxin.
1. | What is a possible route that may have caused these bacteria to become antibiotic resistant? |
The antibiotic lost its potency
The bacteria learned to metabolize the antibiotic
An antibiotic resistant gene was passed on through the plasmids in a group of antibiotic resistant bacteria
The antibiotic resistant bacteria had the ability to degrade the antibiotic in their lysosomes
The bacteria developed a way to prevent the antibiotic from entering into their cells
