Hi TeganCook,

Your Question:

Mutations in certain genes of bacteria cause them to be resistant to powerful antibiotics

Answer:

Antiobic resistence

The reason this is the answer is because antiobic resistence means that if they are given a really strong vaccine or antiobic they resist it easily.

This type of mutation is called antibiotic resistance. It is the ability of a microbe to resist the effects of medication previously used to treat them. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
