antibiotic resistance and drug resistance mechanisms
Antibiotic resistance refers to the ability of bacteria or other microorganisms to withstand the effects of antibiotics, making them less effective in treating infections. Drug resistance mechanisms are the specific ways by which microorganisms develop resistance to drugs or antibiotics, often by acquiring genetic mutations or acquiring resistance genes from other bacteria.
