Describe four mechanisms of gene transfer used within bacteria, and how they contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance?

1. A mutation occurs in the chromosome of a bacterium that is infecting a patient in a hospital. The mutation makes the cell resistant to the particular antibiotic that is being used to treat the patient. Given this scenario:

a. Discuss how the resistance might spread to other bacterial cells in the patient and other bacterial cells within the hospital. In your discussion, you should discuss at least 3 mechanisms that may cause the spread of the resistance?

b. How might these antibiotic resistance mutation be dangerous to both healthy and unhealthy individuals?
