Question

s1 unit test: characteristics of life
over time, some bacteria evolve to be resistant to some antibiotics. they can survive to produce more resistant bacteria.
what impact might antibiotic resistance have?
○ viruses also evolve to become resistant to antibiotics
○ antibiotics become less effective, so more people get sick with disease caused by resistant bacteria.
○ antibiotics become more effective, so fewer people get sick from bacterial infections.
○ there would be little to no effect from antibiotic resistant bacteria

Explanation:

Antibiotic - resistant bacteria survive antibiotic treatment. This makes antibiotics less effective against them. As a result, more people may get sick from infections caused by these resistant bacteria. Viruses are not affected by antibiotics, and antibiotic resistance does not make antibiotics more effective.

Answer:

Antibiotics become less effective, so more people get sick with disease caused by resistant bacteria.
