Describe three targets of antibiotics in bacterial cells. Explain how the antibiotics produce these effects at each target. Bacteria have evolved mechanisms of resistance to many antibiotics. Describe two different mechanisms of resistance, explaining how the bacterium overcomes the action of the antibiotic. Give an example of an antibiotic whose effect can be overcome by each of the mechanisms you have described.arrow_forwardTargeted metagenomics is helping researchers better understand the complex connectios between diet, the microbiome, and health.
