Resistances

... without reporters cause usually you're segretating things afterwards based on the reporters (like trying to grow colonies of bacteria based on resistances and such) so if you start with the gene of interest and then the reporter, you won't have incorrect cells in your batch). at least, that's ...

... often divide quickly, and could be prone to cell cycle -targeting toxins, but they often mutate quite fastly and could maybe generate different resistances easier.

... human tissue or artificial implant devices leading to biofilm associated bacterial infections. Bacteria growing in biofilms often have increased resistances to antimicrobials and to host defensive processes, when compared to the same strain growing in planktonic culture. The mechanisms for these ...

... over millions of years. How can antibiotic resistance be a loss of information? Where is the information being lost from? It's not as if the resistances made it weaker in other areas. Super staph for example is immune to almost every drug available and yet it still functions as well as the ...

... drugs need to be taken at the same time. Average single drug resistant M. tuberculosis occurs with a frequency of 10-6 (although individual resistances differ). M. tuberculosis can produce resistant strands for several of the drugs used to treat the disease. Resistance to streptomycin is ...
