Molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance

Bacteria can develop resistance to antibiotics through two genetic


processes: (i) mutation and selection (vertical gene transfer); and (ii)

exchange of genes between strains and species (horizontal gene transfer)

(Biswas et al., 2008).
1-Mutation and selection
2-Exchange of genes between strains and species
3-Integrons and mobile gene cassettes
