Question

suppose a certain species causes a skin infection and the treatment is a specific antibiotic. if the treatment is delayed and the bacteria are allowed to replicate describe the processes that occur to cause the population of bacteria in the wound to become genetically diverse and possibly difficult to treat

Answer 1

Bacterias can cause skin infection in human beings, skin infection commonly cause iching and it usually looks red in color. Skin infection will spread to more areas faster, the reason behind this is bacterial replication. Most of the bacterias use binary fission for their replication, during the replication process one bacteria can multiply into two. The faster multiplication of bacteria will also increase the skin infection. The bacterias will undergo some changes(genetically), inorder to survive in the host, they will undergo mutation and this make the treatment difficult.
