Match the mechanism of antimicrobial drug resistance to its best description: - drug inactivation - modification of drug binding site - preventing accumulation of drug inside cell - biofilm formation A. enzyme cleaves ̠-lactam ring in penicillin B. Extracellular polysaccharides produced in complex ecosystem of microorganisms slows diffusion of antimicrobial drug C. Efflux pump pumps antibiotic out of cell D. a point mutation in rRNA gene changes shape of ribosome such that streptomycin can no long bind to ribosome

The multidrug resistant pumps in many bacterial cell membranes cause Multiple Choice bacterial chromosomal mutations. synthesis of enzymes that alter drug structure. removal of drugs from the cell. alteration of drug receptors on cell targets. All of these choices are correct.
