Imagine as a doctor you have sampled the bacterium making your patient sick and grew the bacterium (the orange color lawn) on a petri dish. You then test 5 antibiotics to see which to prescribe to your patient. From the image that shows the results of your testing below, which antibiotic will you choose to give to your patient? Explain how you made your choice.

Required

1

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of bacterial cells?

Have cell walls

Are microscopic

Contain a nucleus

Can reproduce rapidly

Which organelle is responsible for protein synthesis in bacteria cells?

Nucleus

Mitochondria

Golgi apparatus

Ribosomes

What is the function of pili in bacteria cells?

Attach to surfaces or other bacteria

Produce energy

Regulate cell activities

Store genetic material

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
7 (majority of bacteria genome)		cell wall
8 (extra small loop of DNA)		cell membrane
2		ribosome
9 (makes proteins)		nucleoid/bacterial chromosome
1		flagellum
10		pilus
6 (helps bacteria stick to surfaces and do conjugation)		plasmid

What is the primary method of reproduction in bacteria?

Mitosis

Conjugation

Binary Fission

Meiosis

What is the process of bacterial conjugation used for?

Reproduction

Cellular respiration

Copying and transfering of DNA/genetic material (usually plasmids) between bacteria

Exchange of nutrients

Match the definitions to the corresponding bacterial processes.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Transfer of genetic material through a pili		Binary Fission
Cell division producing two identical daughter cells		Conjugation

Where does the initial "seeding" (beginning) of your microbiome come from?

the father

the mom's intestinal microbiome

the mom's skin microbiome

the mom's birth canal when you are born

How does your microbiome help "educate" your immune system?

the healthy bacteria of the microbiome shows your immune system what bacteria "belong" and what bacteria the immune system should destroy as invaders

a healthy immune system should destroy all bacteria in the body

What would be the easiest way to make your gut microbiome function better in making you healthy?

by eating more processed food

by getting more sleep

by spending more time outside

by drinking lots of sugary drinks

by eating/drinking more pre-biotics like fruits and vegetables and more pro-biotics like fermented foods

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

Explain how you made your choice.

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

a strain of bacterium that is resistant to several or many antibiotics

a bacterium that is able to make its own antibiotics

a bacterium that has the ability to reproduce very quickly
