Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria undergo random mutations that provide survival advantages, allowing them to thrive and proliferate even in antibiotic-rich environments. This resistance is exacerbated by the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, but scientists are working on new treatments and strategies to combat these superbugs.

Concepts covered:antibiotic resistance, natural selection, mutations, superbugs, phage therapy
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria undergo random mutations that provide survival advantages, allowing them to thrive and proliferate even in antibiotic-rich environments. This resistance is exacerbated by the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, but scientists are working on new treatments and strategies to combat these superbugs.
Question 1
Antibiotic resistance is due to bacterial mutations.
Question 2
Why are antibiotics becoming less effective?
Question 3
MRSA has become resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics like _____ and methicillin.
Question 4
CASE STUDY: A hospital is facing an outbreak of a superbug resistant to multiple antibiotics. The medical team needs to act quickly to contain the outbreak.
All of the following are immediate actions except...
Question 5
CASE STUDY: A researcher is studying a new strain of Salmonella that has shown resistance to multiple antibiotics. They need to identify the mechanisms behind this resistance.
