bacterial strain can become resistant to several
types of antibiotic
. Multiple antimicrobial resistance
Acquired antibiotic resistance can develop in …
2 types : 1- intrinsince resistance : nature o resistance of microrgasnim (always been like this )
2- acquired resistance:microorganism used to be sensitive but not anymore !
occurs through ‘natural selection
- Quickly happen due to quick reproduction rate (every 20 min)
- develop in two ways: 1- spontaneous random mutation
2-mobile genetic elements ➡transferred between bacteria ( from resistant not pathogen to pathogen) ➡acquisition’ of resistance genes
Such mobile genetic elements often contain gene clusters that may also contain multiple resistance factors, giving the recipient microorganism multiple resistance characteristics.
Horizontal gene transfer =assimilate DNA from other cells and integrate it into its own genetic backroun
common pathogenic bacteria that are increasingly
resistant to one or more antibiotics.
Enterobacteria (such as Escherichia coli and
Klebsiella pneumoniae, which are frequent in the human intestine)
the fastest route for
resistant strains of bacteria to spread across national
borders
Tourism and food imports
Geographical areas with relatively high DDE concentratio
e Eastern Europe, Central
America and Eastern Asia.
where DDT is currently used for malaria control,
subSaharan Africa,
DIOXIN
Dioxins are a group of persistent organic pollutants present in the agent orange
Agent Orange:
Every toxic
herbocide/ecocide
l defoliant
dna methylation profile of individual in contaminated region = dnam non contaminated true / false
true
Enables to make inferences about our species past
(i.e. genomes as records of evolution
genetic is inherites
history = evolutionary forces shaed it
Macro-evolution
species evolution + geological time
micro evolution
genetic diversity within pop + genetation
can be measured by
change allel frequicney within pop trhough time and space
population varitation leads to species
Most of genetic variants in our genome are due to differences
between individuals in the same population
