Antibiotic Resistance

Based on the figure, which antibiotic inhibited the growth of the bacteria the most?

• A
• B
• C
• D

Bacteria can be helpful to humans by 

• producing vitamin K
• helping to digest food
• protect against harmful bacteria
• all of the answer choices.

If you go to a doctor and are prescribed antibiotics you probably have an illness cause by a 

• virus
• bacteria
• host cell
• macrophage

During natural selection, the organisms with the best adaptations..

• survive better in their environment
• have higher fitness
• pass down their traits more often
• All of these are correct

The area where bacteria cannot survive because of the antibiotic:

• zone of inhibition
• zone of prohibition
• the friend zone
• zone of unhappiness

Antibiotic resistant bacteria are a problem because:

• we can't help people with those infections
• bacteria smell pretty bad
• something about viruses
• they are not a problem, I love being sick

People are making antibiotic resistance worse by:

• taking antibiotics only when they need them
• putting antibiotics into our food and environment
• not sharing antibiotics with others

The rate that bacteria develop antibiotic resistance at can be sped up by:

• Exposure to lower levels of antimicrobials than prescribed

• 2.Exposure to broad-spectrum antibiotics (which aren’t specific to a microbe)

• 3.Overuse of antibiotics in foods/agriculture

• 4. All of the above

What can we do to reduce the rate of development of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria

• Always finish a course of antibiotics

• Only take antibiotics when they are really needed

• Take antibiotics whenever it is possible

• Reduce the amount of antibiotics given to animals in the farming industry

how are bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics?

• bacteria does not become resistant to antibiotics.

• by a genetic mutation/by acquiring resistance from another bacterium.

• by wishing they were resistant.

• antibiotic resistance does not exist.
