Natural Selection and Bacterial Resistance
1.

3.
4.
Choose a bacterium that is resistant to more than one antibiotic.
Find out the names of the antibiotics to which the bacterium is resistant.
Find out how the resistance developed.
Find out how common the infection is (with the resistant strain of bacteria) and what
the effects are when a person is infected.
5. Find out how the infection is treated.
6. Find out what measures are recommended to reduce the incidence of antibiotic
resistance in bacteria.
Put all of your information into either a poster or a leaflet.
Save your work in X:\Science\Miss Jakins\12C Antibiotic Resistance.
All work must be saved in this folder no later than 9am on Monday 9th December.
