Question

Answer True or False to the following questions. Give one short sentence explanation for answers.

1. If a patient doesn't finish antibiotics, this can cause a mutation to occur in the microbe for genetic resistance to that antibiotic.

2 An antibiotic will kill off or inhibit the regular sensitive bacteria and allow the resistant bacteria to continue multiplying.

3 Drug resistant strains of bacteria develop when mutant bacteria are able to overpower the sensitive bacteria to become the predominant strain.

4 Resistant bacteria have no advantage over sensitive bacteria unless they are exposed to the antimicrobial drug.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

1. False (Becuase there is no any direct relation antibiotic consumption and genetic resistance to antibiotics)

2. True ( Antibiotic can kill or inhibit sensitive bacteria only because resistance bacteria have the mechanism to avoid the harmfull effect of antibiotic and continue to grow.)

3. False ( Drug resistance bacteria develop due to transfer of drug resistance gene or development of drug resistance gene due to mutation)

4. True (Yes there is no any difference in sensitive and resistance bacteria other than the resistance bacteria can grow in presence of drug.)
