What is Antibiotic Resistance? Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change their biochemical pathways or genes so that an antibiotic no longer affects them. 👉 In simple terms: The drug still exists — but the bacteria has “learned biochemistry” to defeat it. Biochemical Mechanisms behind Resistance (Important for Biochemistry Students) Enzyme production β-lactamase enzyme breaks penicillin antibiotics Target modification Ribosome mutation → antibiotic cannot bind Efflux pumps Bacteria pumps the drug out of the cell Metabolic pathway alteration Alternative pathway synthesis (e.g., folate pathway change) Biofilm formation Protective biochemical matrix around bacteria Why It Is Increasing (Public Awareness Points) Taking antibiotics for viral fever / cold Stopping medicine once symptoms reduce Self-medication (medical shop purchase without prescription) Use of antibiot...
