There are several mechanisms by which organisms develop resistance, including:
Target Site Modification: Changes at the target site of the toxin that reduce its binding affinity, rendering it less effective. Increased Metabolism: Enhanced ability to metabolize or break down the toxin, often through upregulation of detoxifying enzymes. Efflux Pumps: Increased activity of transport proteins that pump the toxin out of cells before it can exert its effects. Behavioral Changes: Alterations in behavior that reduce exposure to the toxin, such as avoiding treated areas.
