1 answer

Penicillin resistant bacteria would typically be considered a beneficial mutation for the bacteria itself as it allows them to survive in the presence of an antibiotic (penicillin) that would otherwise kill them. However, it can be harmful for humans or other organisms that are being treated with penicillin, as it reduces the effectiveness of the antibiotic in fighting bacterial infections.
