Question 1
1.

From the videos we watched .... What are some real-life examples of bacterial misuse and/or multi-drug resistant bacteria....

Question 2
2.

From "Superbugs That Resist Antibiotics Can Evolve in 11 Days | I Contain Multitudes", According to the video, antibiotics are natural substances that have been in use for billions of years. True or False?

Question 3
3.

From "Superbugs That Resist Antibiotics Can Evolve in 11 Days | I Contain Multitudes", What did Alexander Fleming observe in his lab that led to the discovery of penicillin?

Question 4
4.

From "Superbugs That Resist Antibiotics Can Evolve in 11 Days | I Contain Multitudes", What is the main concern with the overuse of antibiotics?

Question 5
5.

From "Superbugs That Resist Antibiotics Can Evolve in 11 Days | I Contain Multitudes", How long did it take for the population of E. coli on the Mega-Plate to evolve super resistance to the antibiotic?

Question 6
6.

From "Superbugs That Resist Antibiotics Can Evolve in 11 Days | I Contain Multitudes", What does the video suggest about the use of antibiotics to treat viral diseases?

Question 7
7.

From "Superbugs That Resist Antibiotics Can Evolve in 11 Days | I Contain Multitudes", describe how this image shows how the bacteria evolved to become more antibiotic resistant over time and what the different colors represent?

Question 8
8.

Humans just recently invented antibiotics in the last few years..

Question 9
9.

Penicillin kills bacteria by poking holes in their cell walls

Question 10
10.

Select the possible strategies that antibiotics use to kill bacteria

Question 11
11.

Antibiotics are only available and used today as prescriptions given by doctors

Question 12
12.

Antibiotics are not only given to people, but to farm animals as well. Antibiotics are also put into many cleaners and detergents. Our environment is full of antibiotics!

Question 13
13.

Describe how Alexander Fleming "discovered" penicillin

Question 14
14.

Explain why the average age of a typical American increased 28 years over the course of the 20th century

Question 15
15.

Describe & explain what is different between the bacterial growth on the 2 petri dishes below

Question 16
16.

Which antibiotic is most effective at killing this type of bacterium?

Question 17
17.

Which antibiotic (A, B, or C) is this bacterium resistant to and explain how the image allows you to figure this out?

Question 18
18.

Antibiotic Resistance - Put the following steps in order....

  1. An antibiotic enters the environment of a population of bacteria.
  2. Some mutations (rarely) may allow a bacterium to RESIST (fight off) an antibiotic.
  3. Most of the bacteria are killed - the resistant bacteria are not!
  4. The resistance bacteria are “selected for”
  5. The resistant bacteria reproduce easily (they do not have much competition!
  6. Mutations - random mistakes in copying bacterial DNA as bacterium gets ready for binary fission (to divide)
  7. Bacteria frequently share antibiotic resistance genes by conjugation - this makes antibiotic resistance spread even faster!
Question 19
19.

What is a multi-drug resistant bacteria ("superbug")?

Question 20
20.

What would cause the creation of a bacterium with a plasmid that has several or many antibiotic resistance genes?
