What do we call individual pathogens which antibiotics can kill?
  • Pathogens which are non-resistant
  • Pathogens which are non-immune
  • Pathogens which are non-pathogenic
  • Pathogens which are non-living
Antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria spread quickly. Why is this?
  • Because they have a selective advantage and are better adapted
  • Because they are not adapted to survive
  • Because they have lower optimum temperature
  • Because they do not grow in the presence of the antibiotic
Why can it be dangerous if you do not complete your course of antibiotics?
  • The bacteria may all die
  • Not all of the bacteria are killed so the infection continues
  • The remaining bacteria may become resistant
  • You become immune to the antibiotic
Which of the following would be the usual medical advice for a sore throat?
  • Take antibiotics
  • Bed rest, fluids and antibiotics
  • Avoid antibiotics unless absolutely necessary
  • Pain killers, antibiotics and throat spray
Individual pathogens survive, reproduce and can form new strains by which process?
  • The process of natural selection
  • The process of natural wastage
  • The process of unnatural means
  • The process of sexual reproduction
Resistance to antibiotics in bacteria is controlled by what?
  • Hormones
  • White blood cells
  • Genes
  • Viruses
How have we slowed down the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria?
  • By ignoring the problem
  • With more careful prescribing of antibiotics
  • By banning antibiotics
  • By inventing new painkillers
How have doctors tried to reduce antibiotic resistance?
  • By prescribing more antibiotics
  • By prescribing weaker antibiotics
  • By prescribing fewer antibiotics
  • By not giving antibiotics at all
What does MRSA stand for?
  • Medically resistant susceptible antibiotics
  • Methicillin-resistant Streptococcus antibodies
  • Multiple resistant Staphylococcus aureus
  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Antibiotic resistance can lead to what?
  • New viral strains
  • Bacteria which are immune to antibiotics
  • Viruses which are resistant to antibiotics
  • New strains of bacteria which cannot be destroyed
