Antibiotic Resistence

Antibiotic Resistence is a something that everybody has in their body and it is where they pretty much where the target protein is the big body guard that protects the microorganisms with an antibiotic. Genes during a antibiotic resistence can be shared between each resistant gene by conjugation, transformation, or transduction which they are transfered by plasmid.  Conjugation is where it is pretty much called sexual reproduction because a tube called a pilus is the transportation of the genes between which is a transfer of genes for antibiotic resistence.  Transformation is where the cell breaks up and the cell has "naked" DNA floating by itself now and break apart and slide into another cell and start all over.  Transduction is where is the virus or bacteriophage shoots its DNA into a cell and that cell makes more bacteriophage DNA and the cell dies and those viruses attack other cells this causes a mutation in the cell.
