What’s wrong with this statement?
• Take a few minutes to individually complete this worksheet and then compare your answers with your group
• Consider these misconceptions throughout class today and we’ll follow-up on them at the end

The Problem
![Page 6: The Genetics of Antibiotic Resistance Research Theme: Infectious Diseases Jason Kuehner March 5, 2007.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649efc5503460f94c0fdd1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Problem
• You run a public health clinic in Racine, Wisconsin
![Page 7: The Genetics of Antibiotic Resistance Research Theme: Infectious Diseases Jason Kuehner March 5, 2007.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649efc5503460f94c0fdd1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Problem
• You run a public health clinic in Racine, Wisconsin• A county commissioner overseeing your clinic is
an epidemiologist and wants to know how you plan to address the emergence of ciprofloxacin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae
![Page 8: The Genetics of Antibiotic Resistance Research Theme: Infectious Diseases Jason Kuehner March 5, 2007.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649efc5503460f94c0fdd1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Problem
• You run a public health clinic in Racine, Wisconsin• A county commissioner overseeing your clinic is
an epidemiologist and wants to know how you plan to address the emergence of ciprofloxacin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Medical professional that deals with the incidence,distribution, and possible control of diseases

The Problem
• You run a public health clinic in Racine, Wisconsin• A county commissioner overseeing your clinic is
an epidemiologist and wants to know how you plan to address the emergence of ciprofloxacin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Species of bacteria that is the causative agent ofgonorrhea, a sexually transmitted infection

The Problem
• You run a public health clinic in Racine, Wisconsin• A county commissioner overseeing your clinic is
an epidemiologist and wants to know how you plan to address the emergence of ciprofloxacin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae
• State budget cuts mean you cannot afford to give all of your patients more expensive antibiotics or do all of the lab tests that you would like
![Page 12: The Genetics of Antibiotic Resistance Research Theme: Infectious Diseases Jason Kuehner March 5, 2007.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649efc5503460f94c0fdd1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

The following statements describe how a change in genotype can perturb phenotype. Number them in the best sequential order (1=earliest event, 4=latest event):
__ Mutant RNA is translated.
__ Mutant DNA is transcribed.
__ Mutant protein is altered, changing an organism’s response to its environment.
__ An error occurs during DNA replication, resulting in a gene mutation.

Emergence of antibiotic resistance
“It is not difficult to make microbes resistant to penicillin in the laboratory by exposing them to concentrations not sufficient to kill them, and the same thing has occasionally happened in the body.”
- Alexander Fleming, 1945 Nobel Prize lecture

Why aren’t antibiotics as effective as they used to be?
What’s wrong with this statement?

1. People have become immune to antibiotics– Human immune systems do not build up immunity to antibiotics.
Rather, it is the bacteria within the human host that become resistant.
What’s wrong with this statement?

1. People have become immune to antibiotics– Human immune systems do not build up immunity to antibiotics.
Rather, it is the bacteria within the human host that become resistant.
2. Antibiotics are changing and subsequently becoming weaker– Antibiotics are inert chemical substances. Bacteria, however, are
living organisms that can change through evolution.

2. Antibiotics are changing and subsequently becoming weaker– Antibiotics are inert chemical substances. Bacteria, however, are

3. Bacteria have mutated in order to become resistant– Bacteria do not “choose” to mutate, adapt, or develop resistance.
Natural selection selects among whatever variation exists in the population and the result is evolution.

Delaying the inevitable…
1. Don’t use antibiotics to treat viral infections.
2. Avoid mild doses of antibiotics over long time periods.
3. When treating a bacterial infection with antibiotics, take all of your pills.
4. Use a combination of drugs to treat a bacterial infection.
5. Reduce or eliminate the “preventative” use of antibiotics on livestock and crops.
