Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria populations are repeatedly exposed to the same antibiotics, which allows for the survival and reproduction of resistant strains of bacteria. This is due to the fact that antibiotics kill susceptible bacteria while allowing resistant strains to survive and reproduce, leading to the development of antibiotic-resistant populations. The other choices do not accurately describe the development of antibiotic resistance.
