evidence for evolution: resistant bacteria

whats the one type of organism which evolves extremely rapidly?

bacteria

under ideal conditions bacteria can reproduce every?

thirty minutes

because bacteria can reproduce at such a fast rate, they can evolve?

rapidly

what is one common strain of antibiotic resistant bacteria called?

MRSA

mutations of bacterial pathogens produce?

new strains

some strains might be resistant to antibiotics si are not?

not killed

they survive and reproduce, so the population of the what rises?

of the resistant strain rises

the resistant strain will then spread because?

people are not immune to it and there is no effective treatment

one way to reduce the development of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria?

doctors should not prescribe antibiotics inappropriately

another reason to reduce the development of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria?

patients should make certain to complete their course of antibiotics to make sure all of the bacteria are killed and none can survive to mutate and form resistant strains

we should restrict the use of antibiotics in?

farming

researchers are currently developing new antibiotics whats the problem with this?

it takes a long time and it is extremely expensive

as new antibiotic resistant bacteria emerge all the time it is unlikely that we will be able to?

keep up
