In examining a MRSA strain, researchers find that degraded penicillin is found in the culture medium. What is the most likely mechanism of resistance?

The production of beta-lactamase

Explanation:

Resistance is largely due to plasmid mediation with the most common mechanism being antibiotic hydrolysis. This is mediated by beta-lactamase(β-Lactamase) which converts penicillin to the inactive penicilloic. This conversion is enhanced by the acyl-enzyme intermediate,E-acyl.

this allows people to make the best decision or pursue the best option. when alternatives are weighed using their advantages and disadvantages, the option whose disadvantages outweigh the advantages (based on a qualitative or quantitative analysis) are shunned while those whose advantages outweigh their disadvantages are pursued.  

answer would be letter choice (a),   a ball resting on a shelf. would be another example of potential energy   >   stored energy > not moving.

a ball spinning on a finger   >   kinetic energy > moving energy

a ball rolling on the ground   >   kinetic energy   > moving energy

a   ball flying through the air   > kinetic energy   >   moving energy
