Objective: KWBAT gather and evaluate evidence from text to argue the effects of a fecal transplant on the human body.
Read both of the articles for two new types of bacteria and then complete the matching activity at the end.
1. Read: Bacteria B. fragilis
2. Read: Bacteria L. reuteri
3. Completing Matching activity
Bacteria from the fecal transplant can fill up the space in the gut, limiting the food and space for invading harmful bacteria. One piece of evidence that supports this claim is that Patient 23’s case study showed that before the fecal transplant, the patient had low bacteria in his gut, and the bacteria included C. difficile. In week 9, after the fecal transplant, the patient had high bacteria in his gut and no C. difficile.
What is the claim from the above statement?
Reflect: Why is it important to include reasoning in an argument?
(reasoning: connecting the evidence to the claim)
Use the pie chart on the left to complete this question:
How does B. fragilis bacteria in the gut microbiome affect mouse gut health?
Select all that apply.
Use the pie chart on the left to complete this question:
How does L. reuteri bacteria in the gut microbiome affect mouse gut health?
Select all that apply.
True or False: The bacteria B. fragilis can cause dangerous infections.
Summarize this diagram. What does it show us?

When B. fragilis is outside of the gut....
Which quote from the first paragraph best supports this claim:
L. reuteri is one of the most helpful types of bacteria for the human microbiome.
Find a quote that supports this claim.
What two effects does L. reuteri have on the gut microbiome
What does L. reuteri produce in the human gut?
Match the correct type of bacteria with their effect on the human body. You may have to revisit previous lessons and use the articles for this.
hints:
Patient 23😬
You just read about two GOOD bacteria types
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
B. fragilis | arrow_right_alt | Vomiting, Diarrhea, Fever |
L. reuteri | arrow_right_alt | Stomach Pains, Diarrhea, Bloating |
C. difficile | arrow_right_alt | Produces Immune Cells |
C. jejuni | arrow_right_alt | Produces Mucus |
What is the evidence from the above statement?
What is the reasoning from the above statement?
True or false: B. fragilis has the ability to use nearly anything as food in the human gut
How does the bacteria B. fragilis help humans?
