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.
