Summary Introduction
To review:
The methodology of suicide prevention by the antibiotic-producing microorganisms.
Introduction:
Antibiotics eliminate other biotic agents by various approaches. There are various microorganisms that are associated with the formation of antibiotics. Such organisms are not eliminated by the antibiotic that they are producing. There exist several adaptations in the antibiotic-producing cells that enable them to survive even after the presence of an antibiotic.
