Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 10 page discussion of the mechanisms through which bacterial pathogens evolve. Bacterial pathogens evolve in reference to a number of factors. These are both natural factors and manmade factors. Bacterial evolution in response to antibiotics is one example of this relationship. This evolution occurs both clinically and in areas such as uncontained landfills that have been the recipient of hospital wastes. Once bacteria evolve to reflect a resistance to antibodies they retain that evolutionary feature. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Abstract Bacterial pathogens evolve in reference to a number of factors. These are both natural factors and manmade factors.
Bacterial evolution in response to antibiotics is one example of this relationship. This evolution occurs both clinically and in areas such as uncontained landfills that have been the recipient
of hospital wastes. Once bacteria evolve to reflect a resistance to antibodies they retain that evolutionary feature.
Introduction Bacterial pathogens have had an astounding impact on mankind. In our modern high-tech world it is sometimes easy
to forget that the same diseases which confront us today have confronted us during much earlier times in history as well. The manner in which we dealt with those
diseases varied from practices which we now consider largely ineffective and label as witchcraft to practices which closely resemble our treatment of disease today. Indeed, much of our current
day knowledge in regard to disease treatment is based on practices which were initially utilized by cultures which today we often describe as primitive. Interestingly, however, the specific etiologies
of these pathogens have changed as well. This has occurred as a result of evolution. Typically when we think of evolution we
think of events which occur slowly over thousands of years. In the case of organisms such as bacteria this is not always the case. Mans activities can, and
have, influenced the evolution of some of these organisms. Bacteria which evolve to resist typical antibiotics (chemical substances which inhibit the growth of bacteria or even destroy them), for
