    The researcher had an epidemic of ceftazidime-resistant Klebsiella. The book goes on to describe the researcher’s worry about the resistance‚ so he resorted to imipenem which usually worked when drugs were resistant. Initially the imipenem knocked out the ceftazidime resistance; however after one day he discovered that Klebsiella had become resistant to imipenem. As a result a number of infected patient’s began to die due to resistance to the available

    theories of evolution the correct of the two is Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection. Evolution can be proven through embryos‚ fossils‚ anti-biotic resistant bacteria and much more. Darwin’s theory also applies to St. Aureus as an overuse of antibiotics accelerated the evolution leading to the development of MRSA. MRSA is a type of bacteria resistant to antibiotics containing penicillin. MRSA is also known to be a super bug where it thrives in

    result‚ viruses are evolving and becoming resistant to antibiotics. Resistance to antibiotics‚ and most likely to pesticides as well‚ is mainly a consequence of the abuse of these powerful weapons. “Antibiotics are overused by doctors‚ both in outpatient and inpatient settings‚ and self-medication is common‚ especially in developing countries.” (Vento‚ 2010) Studies have shown that bacteria and viruses are becoming more and more drug and antibiotic resistant. The widespread use of antibiotics has

    Biology Research Task- Lucy Kerslake What causes antibiotic resistance? Antibiotic resistance occurs when an antibiotic is no longer effective against a particular bacteria‚ making that organism resistant to the effects of the antibiotic. Bacteria become resistant due to selective pressure. Those organisms which resist the antibiotic‚ and do not die from it ’s effects have a greater chance of survival within the host‚ therefore allowing them to reproduce and spread it ’s resistance to other
