Explain the concept of selective toxicity. How does it apply to the development of antibiotics?

What 4 principal antibiotic resistance (ABR) mechanisms are there? Is there a fundamental difference or similarities between any of the mechanisms?

What is selective toxicity in the context of antibiotic chemotherapy? Support your answer with examples.

Are there any potential contraindications or interactions you need to be aware of when taking probiotics?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers antibioticresistance to be one of the world’s most pressing health problems. How can scientists help solve this problem? (Consider both technology and the general public.)

Why are antibiotics and vaccines important? Explain the development of antibiotic resistance and viral resistance. List websites or articles used to acquire the information.

How does the antibiotic resistance mechanism using drug efflux pumps works? What could the medical community do to respond to this resistance mechanism to overcome it?

In 2015, the WHO surveyed 10,000 people on the subject of drug resistance. Seventy-five percent of them said that antibiotic resistance is due to the human body becoming resistant to the drug. Explain how you would correct this misconception?

Match each of the descriptions in Column A with the correct panel listed in Column B. Description Panel Resistant bacteria share resistance genes with each other Resistant bacteria survive and reproduce Treatment with methicillin kills nonresistant bacteria Some bacteria carry a mutation that provided resistance to methicillin Predict the possible outcome(s) if the antibiotic tetracycline was applied after panel 4. Check all that apply. O The tetracycline will act as a selective pressure, causing bacteria to mutate in order to survive. O Since the population is resistant to methicillin and not tetracycline, none of the bacteria will survive. O Treatment with an antibiotic will not affect the overall survival of the population. Any bacterium that has a mutation for tetracycline resistance would be able to survive.

7. Antibiotic resistance is a constant problem. List three ways that bacteria can be resistant to antiblotics.
