How can conjugation contribute to multi-drug resistant strains of bacteria?
Homework Answers
Conjugation is the process in which genetic information from one bacteria is transferred to another bacteria through pili. This is one type of horizontal gene transfer.
Many bacteria are resistant to many antibiotics. The resistant property is integrated into their plasmid (R plasmid). Through conjugation bacteria transfer it's resistance property to another bacteria. The genetic factor or plasmid integrated into their genome or remain free and give the resistant property. So, through this process other bacteria get resistance property of many different types of antibiotics. And multi-drug resistant bacteria get rising in number.
One example is.MRSA or methicillin resistance Staphylococcus aureus.
