Question

Do humans have antibiotic resistance genes?

Answer 1

Antibiotic resistance genes:

1. When bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms develop the ability to resist antibiotics meant to kill them, antibiotic resistance arises.
2. The plasmids include the genes for antibiotic resistance.
3. The majority of these tiny extrachromosomal elements are discovered in bacteria.
4. Plasmid transfer from one bacterial cell to another is accomplished by means of a special conjugation process.

No, plasmids are separate double-stranded DNA molecules that have no connection to the chromosomal DNA of the human cell, hence no antibiotic resistance genes are there in humans.
