The most important mechanism by which gram negative
bacilli acquire chloramphenicol resistance is:
A. Decreased permeability into the bacterial
cell
B. Acquisition of a plasmid encoded for chloramphenicol acetyl transferase
C. Lowered affinity of the bacterial ribosome
for chloramphenicol
D. Switching over from ribosomal to mitochondrial protein synthesi
