Antibiotic resistance

Antibiotic resistance
Bacteria may become resistant to an antibiotic because the bacteria contain genes that confer drug resistance. Frequently these drug resistant genes are carried by natural plasmids.

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria
In modern times antibiotics, drugs that target specific features of bacteria, have become very popular. Bacteria evolve very quickly so it is not surprising that they have evolved resistance to antibiotics.
