Summary of the lesson

I learned about this lesson by first antibiotic therapy which is where the antibiotics penicillin, tetracyclines, fluroquinolones, sulfa antibiotic.  Which is medicines that fight bacteria or antibiotics that fight off bacteria.  The second lesson is where the attack of the superbug.  This is where the body is attacked by the superbug and it can't fight it off with the "antibiotic" to be in the body. We also learned about a family named Culbreath that their husband and father had to use CIPRO but it didn't work because he used that for his chickens and he was use to it.  We also learned about conjugation, transformation, transduction which is a series of events that happens when getting rid of the DNA to another cell.  The third lesson is where they have antibiotic fails which like the Culbreath case was an antibiotic fail it happens very frequent and we played the game to find out how many times it would actually fail.  All bodies can fail against antibiotics. 

Antibiotic Resistence

Antibiotic Resistence is a something that everybody has in their body and it is where they pretty much where the target protein is the big body guard that protects the microorganisms with an antibiotic. Genes during a antibiotic resistence can be shared between each resistant gene by conjugation, transformation, or transduction which they are transfered by plasmid.  Conjugation is where it is pretty much called sexual reproduction because a tube called a pilus is the transportation of the genes between which is a transfer of genes for antibiotic resistence.  Transformation is where the cell breaks up and the cell has "naked" DNA floating by itself now and break apart and slide into another cell and start all over.  Transduction is where is the virus or bacteriophage shoots its DNA into a cell and that cell makes more bacteriophage DNA and the cell dies and those viruses attack other cells this causes a mutation in the cell.
