Question

question 3 (2.5 points)
individuals, such as veterinarians, who work closely with farm animals treated with antibiotics tend to carry ____ as a result.
lethal bacteria
bacteria vulnerable to all antibiotics
bacteria vulnerable to some antibiotics
bacteria resistant to flavomycin® but not vancomycin
more antibiotic-resistant bacteria

Explanation:

When farm animals are treated with antibiotics, bacteria can develop resistance. Veterinarians and others working closely with these animals are exposed to such bacteria. Antibiotic - resistant bacteria are more likely to survive in an environment where antibiotics are used (like in farm animal treatment). Lethal bacteria (which could kill the host immediately) are not typically carried in a chronic way. Bacteria vulnerable to all or some antibiotics would be less likely to persist in an antibiotic - treated environment. The option about resistance to a specific drug (Flavomycin) but not another (vancomycin) is too narrow compared to the general concept of antibiotic - resistant bacteria.

Answer:

more antibiotic - resistant bacteria
