Mark all the statements below that are INCORRECT about antibiotic resistance. A. ESBL bacteria contain an enzyme that alters the target site of beta-lactam antibiotics B. Antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria are relatively more common in hospital workers due to continuous exposure to antibiotics in hospital settings C. Antibiotics kill microbes by targeting specific molecules in bacteria and viruses D. Antibiotic resistance can increase due to prescribing or taking antibiotics when the causative agent is a virus E. Antibiotics cause mutations that favor the growth of resistant bacteria F. Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections because viruses lack the structural targets of antibiotics
Discuss why penicillin was called the "miracle drug" when it was first used in the 1940s. Think about it being the first manufactured and distributed antibiotic? Did we have resistance back then? Did people once die from simple infections?
