Q1
A bacterial population contains two types: antibiotic-resistant (R) and antibiotic-susceptible (S). Before treatment, most bacteria are S. During antibiotic treatment, 90% of R bacteria survive, but only 5% of S bacteria survive. After treatment, what will most likely happen to the frequency of resistance in the population that regrows?
