Question
**Question:** Chemical modification of an antibiotic by bacteria would lead to a loss of function of the antibiotic. - True - False **Explanation:** This question is designed to test the understanding of how bacteria can develop resistance to antibiotics. When bacteria chemically modify an antibiotic, they often alter its structure, rendering it ineffective in targeting and killing bacterial cells. This is a common mechanism of antibiotic resistance. Select 'True' if you believe this statement is correct, and 'False' if otherwise.
