Some bacteria can double in numbers every 20 minutes. It means mutations, which can nullify drugs, can emerge quickly. Also, a bacterium can swap their genetic code with other bacteria, even from different species. It's called conjugation and beneficial mutations can spread in the bacterial world. Antibiotics kill bacteria, but the bugs are incredibly wily foes. Once you start treating them with a new drug, they find ways of surviving. New drugs are needed, which they then find ways to survive. The future is bleak. Which of the following, if true, lends support to the conclusion that “the future is bleak”? OPTIONS     1) It is not difficult to make bacteria resistant to antibiotics in the laboratory by exposing them to concentrations not sufficient to kill them.   2) Patients may under-dose themselves and expose the bacteria to non-lethal quantities of the antibiotic which would make them resistant to it.   3) A timeline of discoveries of distinct classes of antibiotics illustrates that there have been no discoveries of new classes of antibiotics since 1987.    4) Antibiotics can be purchased over the counter in pharmacies and inappropriate self-medication is furthering antibiotic-resistant bacteria. discuss | yesterday's solution | more questions Tip of the Day Summarizing a GD means putting forth a concrete outline of the entire discussion and not just your points. more tips Last year's Question of the day (10-Feb-13) A blind-folded man is handed a deck of 52 cards and told that exactly 10 of these cards are facing up.
