Staph infections, caused by the bacterium staphylococcus aureus, are increasing in frequency and are more difficult to treat with antibiotics. many staph infections are now caused by mrsa, and methicillin-resistant strain of s. aureus. what explains the more widespread phenomenon of mrsa prevalence in staph infections?
a) vaccines for mrsa have become not effective because of changes to human immune systems.
b) the presence of antibiotics induced the bacterial genomes to mutate and develop resistance to the drug.
c) decreased hospital sanitation practices to save money have resulted in increased presence of resistant staph infections.
d) selective pressures by excessive antibiotic use have increased the frequency of resistant strains of s. aureus over the last few decades.

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
