A member asked:
How do bacteria like klebsiella pneumoniae aquire resistant genes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plasmid/selection: Bacterial resistance is either transmitted between members by something called a plasmid, a small circle of dna that carries the resistance genes. This, coupled with selection from exposure to antibiotics, breeds populations of resistant bacteria.
