The principles of evolutionary biology provide a clear framework for understanding the emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Antibiotic resistance arises primarily through the process of natural selection. Within a bacterial population, random genetic mutations can occur, some of which may confer the ability to survive exposure to antibiotics. When a bacterial population is exposed to an antibiotic, susceptible individuals are killed or inhibited, while resistant individuals survive and reproduce. Over successive generations, these resistant bacteria become more prevalent, resulting in a population that
