Some examples taken are:
- Why didn't the disease get cured even after giving treatment for the second time?
o Answer: The disease relapsed because a mutation in a specific gene made the tuberculosis bacteria resistant to antibiotics, allowing them to multiply despite treatment, leading to the patient’s death.
- How did the tuberculosis bacteria acquire resistance to antibiotics?
o Answer: A mutation in a specific gene enabled the bacteria to survive antibiotic exposure, allowing resistant bacteria to multiply and cause disease.
- What will happen if these bacteria transmit this ability to their next generations?
o Answer: If resistant bacteria pass this trait to their offspring, the proportion of antibiotic-resistant bacteria will increase, potentially forming multi drug-resistant strains (superbugs), making infections harder to treat.
