When the antibiotics don’t kill the resistant bacteria, what happens to the next generations of bacteria?
a. Even though they are the “babies” of the resistant bacteria, they DO NOT get resistance gene and are unable to survive against the antibiotics.
b. Since they are the “babies” of the resistant bacteria, they also have the resistance gene and are able to survive against the antibiotics. Then they have “babies” that are also resistant, and the number of resistant bacteria grows and grows.
