The effectiveness of the antibiotic was determined by carrying an experiment on three bacteria under the same temperature. The hypothesis of the experiment was: Ho: The entire four antibiotics react…

  • Animal Pest Resistance to Antibiotics

    The latest advances in such fields as biotechnology, genetic research, as well as pharmaceutical discoveries have resulted in a series of unexpected outcomes. Hence, scientists point out the increased level of drug resistance in certain bacteria and animals. In other words, some of the strains of bacteria have become completely resistant to antibiotics. As a…

  • Antibiotic Resistance: Effects of Antibiotic Resistance

    Abstract Antibiotic resistance has become a public issue that is both costly and horrifying. The diverse studies undertaken have established this phenomenon is becoming hard to control due to what scientists define as mutation. Therefore, antibiotic resistance should be taken seriously. Also more appropriate measures should be put in place to sensitize both public and…
