Document Summary

Antibiotic resistance occurs when an antibiotic has lost its ability to effectively control or kill bacterial growth; in other words, the bacteria are resistant and continue to multiply in the presence of therapeutic levels of an antibiotic. Target post- transcription modifications or post translational; prevent phosphorylation and methylation; making them inactive. Taking antibiotics to kill off prokaryotes cells (specifically ribosomes) Rna sequences: target 1 bacterial gene ; disrupt genes of bacteria via virus ; prevents the essential destroy bacteria ; by infecting a gene into the prokaryotic cell function of a protein (post transcriptional) Shape and binding to mrna prevents the entering of mrna into the ribosome. Also stops the trna going through into rrna. Overall stopping translation ribosome complex; composed of rrna; target rrna, molecules will bind to rrna and change its shape not allowing things to enter the cell. Preventing prokaryotic cells from not being able to synthetize and target trna synthases.
