1Antibiotics are drugs that kills [blank_start]bacteria[blank_end] and are used to treat bacterial [blank_start]infections[blank_end]. They work by inhibiting key biochemical processes in bacteria such as protein [blank_start]synthesis[blank_end].
- Abacteria
- Binfections
- Csynthesis
2We are now threatened by infections with bacteria that are [blank_start]resistant[blank_end] to antibiotics. The biggest problem is the evolution of bacteria that are [blank_start]resistant[blank_end] to [blank_start]multiple classes[blank_end] of antibiotics, as these have very few treatment options.
- Aresistant
- Bsusceptible
- Cresistant
- Dsusceptible
- Emultiple classes
- Fone class
- Gtwo classes
3On the image below, are the bacteria around the antibiotic discs susceptible or resistant?
- AResistant
- BSusceptible
- CResistant
- DSusceptible
4Antibiotic resistance can occur by mutations to chromosomal DNA or by acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes by [blank_start]horizontal[blank_end] [blank_start]gene[blank_end] [blank_start]transfer[blank_end]. When we use antibiotics to kill populations of bacteria, all of the susceptible cells will be [blank_start]killed[blank_end], allowing the resistant cells to [blank_start]multiply.[blank_end]
- Ahorizontal
- Bgene
- Ctransfer
- Dkilled
- Emultiply.
5Improper and widespread use of antibiotics speeds up the [blank_start]spread[blank_end] of antibiotic resistance. Some examples of improper use include: subscribing antibiotics for infections caused by [blank_start]viruses[blank_end], and use in [blank_start]livestock[blank_end] such as cows to speed up their growth.
