Mechanisms of Bacterial Drug Resistance (5)

  • Blocking drug entry into the cell

  • Inactivation of the drug by enzymes

  • Alteration of the drug’s target site

  • Efflux/ejection of the drug from the cell

  • Alteration of the metabolic pathways of the host

    • Occurs naturally through mutations
