Question 1 pts
Explain how have multidrug resistant pathogens in health clinics
been propagated.
Your Answer:
by resisting the antibiotics that have been created some infections have
a resistants to to all antibiotics so last resort onesare used and they
include their own toxicities so it can be a hazard.
, For many years, the first course of treatment for illness was
antibiotics. Health providers would use these drugs regardless of
being able to diagnose illnesses as bacterial, viral, or something
altogether different. Over time, the overuse of antibiotics led to
bacteria that accrued mutations leading to resistance. Eventually
more pathogenic bacteria arose with the same resistance, and
standard antibiotic treatment no longer worked.
Question 2 5 / 5 pts
When the bacteria are cultured but separated by a filter
so that they cannot directly touch, one of the bacterial
strains can grow well on minimal medium. What type of
genetic transmission occurred in this experiment?
Explain how you know.
Your Answer:
transduction, because bacteria can be transfer genetic
material with the absense of contact which if filter paper is
blocking bacteria cells but some still grow that is the
process
Transduction occurred in this experiment because the
bacteria did not require direct contact to transmit
genetic material.
