Which antimicrobial resistance mechanism is most commonly associated with extended-spectrum cephalosporin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae?
APenA mosaic alleles
BmtrR promoter mutation
C23S rRNA methylation
DTetM plasmid
All of the following are true about methicillin resistance in MRSA, except:
AResistance is produced as a result of altered PBPs
BResistance may be missed at incubation temperature of 37°C during susceptibility testing
CResistance is primarily mediated/transmitted by plasmids
DResistance is associated with increased minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for beta-lactam antibiotics
The most common genetic element responsible for drug resistance in staphylococci is:
APlasmids
BTransduction
CConjugation
DTranslation
