Evolution of Antibiotic Resistance - GCSE Biology

🦊 In this GCSE Biology video, we explain how bacteria evolve rapidly, particularly through natural selection leading to antibiotic resistance. Bacteria can acquire resistance through mutations, allowing them to survive exposure to antibiotics, reproduce, and pass on their resistant genes. MRSA is a notable example of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that has evolved through natural selection in environments like hospitals where antibiotics are frequently used.
