Objectives
● Find out how harmful bacteria form
antibiotic-resistant strains.
● Discover why resistant strains
spread rapidly.
● Draw conclusions from evidence about
new ways of treating infections.

Last Monday,
Jim Beggs had a
routine knee
operation.
In hospital, MRSA
infected his wound.
Ten days later, the
46-year-old dad
was dead.

Parliament, Health Questions
Superbug MRSA killed
62 more hospital
patients last week.
We are running out of
antibiotics that work.
What does the
Health Minister
plan to do?

SS1 – 2
Prepare a briefing to
help me answer the MP.
● what are drug-resistant
bacteria?
● how do they develop?
● why do they spread so fast?

Are any worth funding?
Is there enough evidence
to show that they work?

More than 1 piece of evidence
CHECK
EVIDENCE
No
Does
each piece of evidence
support the claim*?
NEXT STEPS
Is there any
evidence to support
the claim*?
No
Yes
Yes
A LOT of support
SUMMARISE
1 piece of evidence
A LITTLE support
Explain HOW WELL the evidence
supports the claim* overall.
Suggest a test to make
the claim stronger.
Describe the results
you expect if the
claim* is correct.
NO support
Explain why the
evidence opposes the
claim* or is irrelevant.
Say the claim* could
be wrong. Suggest a
claim that fits the
evidence better.
* or hypothesis

example
Hypothesis Locust brain juice could cut
MRSA in humans because it contains
substances that kill bacteria.
Bacteria Type
Percentage of bacteria
killed after incubating for
24 hours at 37 ºC
Resistant Escherichia coli
99.6
Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
99.7
Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
97.6

the hypothesis is correct?

But MRSA
bacteria can cause
fatal infections if
they get in
through a cut.

We can fight
most bacteria with antibiotics.

Bacteria can
change because
their genes
mutate.
genetic material
Most mutations aren’t useful to
bacteria, but occasionally
mutations make bacteria
resist antibiotics.

The mutated
bacteria are not
destroyed by
antibiotics. They
survive and
reproduce quickly.
This is
natural selection
.

Antibiotics don’t affect MRSA.
It’s
resistant.
Whenever we use
new antibiotics,
resistant strains
develop.

We’re running out
of ideas!

Hari has an ear infection.
An antibiotic kills almost all
the bacteria. Hari stops taking
the antibiotic.
A tiny fraction of the bacteria have a
natural resistance to the antibiotic.
They do not die.
These bacteria reproduce.
So the population of the
resistant strain of bacteria
increases.
