Give the name of the molecule which makes up the bacterial cell wall.
peptidoglycan
TRUE OR FALSE: One way to reduce the chances of bacteria developing resistance to antibiotics is to increase the number of countries in which antibiotics are sold without doctor's prescription.
FALSE. We should reduce these countries, instead.
Name the enzyme that is produced by M. tuberculosis to break down penicillin before it can make a damage to M. tuberculosis cells.
B-lactamse or penicillinase
TRUE OR FALSE: Antibiotic resistance can be developed in a bacteria by acquiring genes from other species.
TRUE. They can do this through conjugation.
