What can we understand from this pie graph?
Both the mice with the normal gut and low-bacteria gut are likely to get sick.
Mice with the normal gut are less likely to get sick because there is less room for the bacteria to grow.
Mice with the low-bacteria gut are less likely to get sick because there is a lot of space.
Both the mice with the normal gut and low-bacteria gut are not likely to get sick.
What is a treatment that reduces the amount of harmful and helpful bacteria in the gut?
Molecules
C. Jejune
Antibiotics
Bacteria
The human body provides an environment (food and space) for bacteria.
True
False
Why did the group of mice with spaces and gaps in their microbiome get sicker than the other group?
Spaces in a microbiome allow bad bacteria like Salmonella or C.diff to grow and expand.
They were sick mice when we started the experiment.
They were supposed to get sick from Salmonella.
Good bacteria weren't able to save them from C.diff.
What is one thing that good bacteria in a healthy and full microbiome do?
Good bacteria keep people warm like coat because they cover a person all over.
Good bacteria feed people antibiotics like C.diff and Salmonella.
Like a shield, good bacteria protect people from bad bacteria because the good bacteria cover every space of a humans body.
Scientific argumentation is...
the way that scientists communicate, evaluate, and revise their explanations
arguing without evidence or reasoning
a type of study
Which is an example of normal and good bacteria in a human microbiome?
C.jejuni
C.diff infection
L.reuteri
Salmonella
In order to have a scientific argument you must have a:
Make a claim and do an experiment
Claim, use evidence, and provide reasoning
Provide evidence from a bunch of sorces
For a case study, scientists collect data about one example over a period of time
True
False
What bacteria did our patient get infected with after the antibiotics treatment?
L. reuteri
Space
C. Jejuni
C. Difficle
During Week 7, why did Patient 23 get a fecal transplant instead of more antibiotics?
Antibiotics restore healthy bacteria to a person's microbiome.
Antibiotics would have killed all of the bacteria. The fecal transplant filled in the spaces with good bacteria.
It didn't matter how we treated Patient 23. Both would have worked.
