Why is the human body resistant to antibiotics?
Because synthetic medicines tend to be quite simple, the bacteria that should be affected by the antibiotic are able to build a defense against it.

What are the benefits of antibiotic resistance?
to treat serious infections before the organism has been identified,to achieve a synergistic effect,to prevent emergence of resistant organism
What is emergence of resistance?
plasmid
What is the Medical term meaning superbug infection?
Antibiotic resistance is a type of drug resistance where a microorganism is able to survive exposure to an antibiotic.
How is antibiotic resistance an adaptation?
The trait giving bacteria antibiotic resistance has become common, giving bacteria with the trait a selective advantage.
Has antibiotic resistance affected endocarditis?
Unfortunately, in recent years, the treatment of endocarditis has become more complicated as a result of antibiotic resistance
What is an example of direct evidence for evolution is... genetic changes in plants antibiotic resistance in bacteria pesticide resistance in insects or all of the above?
genetic changes in plants, antibiotic resistance in bacteria, and pesticide resistance in insects.
When bacteria are not affected by antibiotics they have?
They have resistance to the antibiotic.
Antibiotic in gene cloning?
If antibiotic resistance is added to the gene being cloned, antibiotics can be used to isolate the transformed bacteria (ones with the gene being cloned) by killing off all non-transformed bacteria, that don't have the antibiotic resistance. There is a chance that the non-transformed bacteria can mutate to develop antibiotic resistance.
Is it true cells containing a plasmid with an antibiotic resistance gene will die in the presence of the antibiotic?
false
What are two examples of biological resistance?
antibiotic/warfarin
What can gene for antibiotic resistance be used for?
genetic marker
How can specialized transduction contribute to the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in a bacterial population?
The prophage takes an antibiotic resistance gene with it and is packaged with the newly synthesized viral DNA.
