Question
Chapter 30.3, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which the microbiomes from unhealthy or stunted children affected the growth of mice.
Introduction: An investigation is done by Blanton, Gorden, and Associates on mice. They did this investigation to prove the hypothesis which states that, if the microbiome is taken from a malnourished child is transplanted into the mice then this will affect the growth of the mice.

Because of overuse of antibiotics and/or weakened governmental surveillance of infectious disease, several diseasesthat had been thought to be no longer a threat to humanhealth (e.g., pneumonia and tuberculosis) are rapidly becoming unmanageable. In several instances, so-called superbugs(microorganisms that are resistant to almost all known antibiotics) have been detected. How did this circumstancearise? What will happen if this process continues?

More than two million people inthe United States become infected withantibiotic-resistant bacteria each year, andmore than 23,000 of them will die fromtheir infections. In 2015, approximately480,000 cases of MDR tuberculosisoccurred worldwide and another 100,000cases were resistant to at least one antibiotic.In the United States, cases of drugresistantenterobacteriaceae infectionsincreased three-fold between 2001 and2012. In 2016, a woman in Nevada died ofa Klebsiella pneumoniae infection caused bya strain that was resistant to 26 differentantibiotics, including colistin, which is consideredthe “last resort” antibiotic.One factor leading to the spread ofMDR bacteria is the selective pressurebrought about by repeated exposure toantibiotics.
