Antibiotic resistance in syphilis bacteria to penicillin likely developed through natural selection, where resistant bacteria survived treatment and passed on their resistance traits over time.
Antibiotic resistance in syphilis bacteria towards penicillin may have developed due to the process of natural selection. When penicillin was used to treat syphilis, some bacteria with genetic variations that made them resistant to penicillin survived and reproduced, passing on these resistance traits to their offspring. Over time, as more bacteria with this resistance survived treatment, the overall population of syphilis bacteria became more resistant to penicillin.
