What Are the Implications of Antibiotic Resistance Genes on Tissue Health?
The presence of antibiotic resistance genes in tissues can lead to several adverse effects:
Chronic Infections: Resistance genes can make bacterial infections difficult to treat, leading to prolonged tissue damage. Inflammatory Responses: Resistant bacteria can trigger persistent inflammatory responses, causing further tissue damage. Altered Tissue Structure: Continuous infection and inflammation can alter the normal architecture of tissues, impacting their function.
