Proposed by Proposed by Scientist: Luis PasteurScientist: Luis Pasteur..
All All diseases are caused by small diseases are caused by small organisms that can only be seen with organisms that can only be seen with a microscopea microscope..

Pathogenic Bacteria Pathogenic Bacteria make you sick!make you sick!
Antibiotics- medicine for treating Antibiotics- medicine for treating diseases caused by bacteriadiseases caused by bacteria– Interfere with cell productionInterfere with cell production– Do not help against viruses!!!!Do not help against viruses!!!!
Antibiotic ResistanceAntibiotic Resistance
Caused by using antibiotics too much Caused by using antibiotics too much or incorrectly or incorrectly – Bacteria evolve (by natural selection) to Bacteria evolve (by natural selection) to
resist the medsresist the meds
New methods or different antibiotics New methods or different antibiotics must be used. must be used.

Late 1800’s people knew that Late 1800’s people knew that “factors” caused disease“factors” caused disease
All viruses are bad, but we learned to All viruses are bad, but we learned to manipulate them for our advantagemanipulate them for our advantage– Tobacco mosaic virus – used for gene Tobacco mosaic virus – used for gene

Lytic Cycle (Ex: Ebola)Lytic Cycle (Ex: Ebola)
Present in virulent (fast) virusesPresent in virulent (fast) viruses– 1. Attach to cell1. Attach to cell– 2. Insert viral DNA into host cell2. Insert viral DNA into host cell– 3. Replicate viral DNA using host cell3. Replicate viral DNA using host cell– 4. Assemble new viruses4. Assemble new viruses– 5. Destroy host cell to release new 5. Destroy host cell to release new

Fighting VirusesFighting VirusesImmune system: can fight off most viruses without Immune system: can fight off most viruses without medsmeds
Best treatement option: prevent infection before Best treatement option: prevent infection before exposure with a vaccineexposure with a vaccine of dead/weak viruses of dead/weak viruses; ; body will build immunity;body will build immunity;– Can lead to eradication if everyone is vaccinatedCan lead to eradication if everyone is vaccinated– Doesn’t work post-infectionDoesn’t work post-infection
