Various Methods in Detection of Antibiotics Resistance Genes in Bacteria

The ability of bacteria to genetically encode resistance genes that subvert the inhibitory impact of prospective antibiotics is known as antibiotic resistance. It can be acquired through horizontal gene mutation processes like conjugation, transformation, and transduction or it can arise intrinsically through spontaneous recombination and integration into the bacterial genome. The inactivation of the porin channel, the alteration of antibiotic targets, and the enzymatic neutralisation of anti...
