Which consequence results when an electron tunnels through beta-Lactamase inhibiting antibiotic via resonance?

A)Reduced drug susceptibility develops rapidly
B)Hydrolysis rates of the antibiotic decrease
C)Bacterial cell walls become more rigid
D)Beta-Lactamase production efficiency reduces

💡 Explanation

A reduced drug susceptibility result through resonance destabilization because the antibiotic’s molecular structure is weakened by electron tunneling, therefore promoting antibiotic resistance, rather than causing structural changes because hydrolysis may depend on other reaction dynamics or affecting wall rigidity.
