Resistant Antibiotic

Cards (4)

  • Strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria are developing as the use of antibiotics is increasing.
  • In a group of many bacteria, one might mutate to be resistant to the antibiotic, as a result it reproduces and the others die making a new strain of bacteria, which is resistant to antibiotics.
  • The susceptible (weak) bacteria are killed first
  • Only resistant (strong) bacteria are left
