Bacterial Resistance to Antibiotics - 0 views
-
chemically modify the antibiotic, render it inactive through physical removal from the cell, or modify target site so that it is not recognized by the antibiotic.
-
Efflux pumps are high-affinity reverse transport systems located in the membrane that transport the antibiotic out of the cell.
-
A specific enzyme modifies the antibiotic in a way that it loses its activity. In the case of streptomycin, the antibiotic is chemically modified so that it will no longer bind to the ribosome to block protein synthesis.
