How does antibiotic resistance relate to microbial populations and toxicology?
Antibiotic resistance is a significant concern in microbial populations and toxicology. Exposure to antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals in the environment can lead to the selection of resistant microbial strains. These resistant microbes can spread resistance genes to other bacteria, compounding the problem. Monitoring and managing antibiotic resistance is crucial in maintaining effective treatment options for infectious diseases and ensuring environmental safety.
