conjugative plasmids: transferred between unrelated bacterial species.
Based on their incompatibility profiles, describe whether or not multidrug resistance can develop in these bacteria. which antibiotics will be part of the multidrug resistance?
Which mechanism is most likely generating this multi-drug resistance? Explain.
Considering the probabilistic model, how many generations will this take?
Homework Answers
Based on their incompatibility profiles, multidrug resistance can develop in these bacteria and conjugative plasmids are responsible for this effect.
The antibiotics that will be a part of the multidrug resistance are Beta-lactam, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones.
The multidrug resistance genes are carried on the same plasmid and horizontal gene transfer takes place as the donor bacteria transfer the plamid to other recipient bacteria by conjugation.
It will take about 3 generations .

To determine the likelihood that a patient with a bacterial infection who is in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a hospital could be successfully treated with antibiotic therapies, researchers investigated the frequency of antibiotic resistance in bacteria isolated from patients in ICUs in the United States from 1994 to 2000. The data from the study are shown in the table, along with the overall change in the frequency of bacterial resistance in patient samples...
