Question
Chapter 14.2, Problem 5LO
Summary Introduction
To describe: The types of post transcriptional control in bacteria.
Introduction: Gene regulation is a process where the expression of genes is controlled for the synthesis of specified gene products (usually RNA or proteins). In bacteria transcriptional level control of gene regulation is most efficient followed by post transcriptional control.

Results from a Kirby Bauer antibiotic assay on a Gram-negative bacterial culture are described as follows: A) the bacterium is resistant to penicillin, an antibiotic that targets synthesis of the peptidoglycan cell wall and B) the bacterium is resistant to tetracycline, an antibiotic that targets the small subunit of the ribosome, inhibiting protein synthesis. Which of the results represents intrinsic resistant and which represents acquired resistants?
