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

• prokaryotes
• eukaryotes
• cells
• viruses

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

• A
• B
• C
• D

Antibiotic resistant bacteria are a problem because:

• It is more difficult to treat people infected with them

• bacteria smell pretty bad

• viruses them grow out of control

• they are not a problem, I love being sick

People are increasing the rate at which bacteria populations are acquiring antibiotic resistance by:

• taking antibiotics only when they need them

• putting antibiotics into our food and environment

• not sharing antibiotics with others
