An alarming number of pathogenic bacteria are discovered that are resistant to multiple antibiotics. a) Describe two major causes for rapid spread and manifestation of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria that are linked to human practices: b) What are the genetic sources for antibiotic resistance – or what are the reasons that resistance against new antibiotics is observed so soon after development and use of a new antibiotic? c) Name three different, common types of resistance mechanisms and an example (antibiotic that is inactivated) for each. d) What measures could be taken to slow the development of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria? Related to this question, can you think about a way of testing how fast resistance against a newly developed antibiotic may arise?
