Question

question 18 of 25
why is the evolution of antibiotic resistance in bacteria happening so quickly? select all that apply.
because of overuse of antibiotics in livestock
because bacteria and viruses exchange dna
because of overuse of antibiotics in humans
because the use of antibiotics drives bacterial populations to evolve resistance
because of excessive handwashing and use of cleaning products

Explanation:

Overuse of antibiotics in livestock and humans increases selection pressure. Antibiotic use directly drives bacterial evolution of resistance. Bacteria-virus DNA exchange is not a main driver, and handwashing/cleaning products do not cause antibiotic resistance.

Answer:

because of overuse of antibiotics in livestock, because of overuse of antibiotics in humans, because the use of antibiotics drives bacterial populations to evolve resistance
