Antibiotic Resistance

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

The word “antibiotic” means

• "against growth"

• "against disease"

• "against all odds"

• “against life”

Examples of antibiotics:

• Penicillin

• Tetracyclines

• Neomycin

• All of the above

Antibiotics are chemical substances that kill bacterial cells by interrupting a key cellular function

• True

• False

• Maybe

Broad spectrum antibiotics are good because:

• They Kill many different pathogenic bacteria

• They are really cheap to buy

• They cause antibiotic resistance

• None of the above

A unicellular organism that does not have a nucleus

• fungus
• bacteria
• biome
• virus

A disease causing organism

• pathogen
• poison
• vaccine
• prokaryote

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

• A
• B
• C
• D

The area where bacteria cannot survive because of the antibiotic inhibits or kills it is called:

• zone of inhibition

• zone of prohibition

• the friend zone

• zone of unhappiness

The antibiotic resistance trait can be passed from one bacterium to another during:

• conjugation
• retaliation
• flagellination
• pili parties
