Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms
Pseudomonas aeruginosa can resist many antibiotics thanks to this kind of pump.
Efflux Pumps
This simple method lets bacteria absorb naked DNA from their environment.
Transformation
What is the chance of a bacteria experiencing a spontaneous mutation?
1 / 10000000
This structure is missing in Mycoplasma p, making it resistant to penicillin.
Cell wall
This involves bacteria connecting and passing plasmids directly.
Conjugation
Antimicrobial resistance contributed to this many deaths worldwide in 2019.
4.95 million
This involves bacteria changing how much of the drug gets inside them.
Decreased Permeability
Involves the use of a Bacteriophage
Transduction
