I just found an unusual isolate of S aureus which is resistant to tetracycline (Tet); wild-type S aureus is Tet sensitive. Describe four different molecular mechanisms by which this isolate could show resistance to Tet (you must number them Mech#1, Mech#2, Mech#3, and Mech#4). (Note: the question is not asking how the bacteria got this new genotype, but how the bacteria display this new phenotype.)
