3 1676: Antoni van Leeuwenhoek- observed/described bacteria 3 shapes: coccus, bacillus, spirochete/spirillum 2 classes: Gram positive and Gram negative Transferring bacteria: contact, spoiled food, contaminated water Antibiotic: against life

4 Egyptians: Eating onions, garlic, leeks, and radishes China and Japan: Mandrake root Asia: Sap of peach trees, silkworms and insect larva powders

5 1676: Antoni van Leeuwenhoek- first to describe/observe bacteria 1845: Ignaz Semmelweis- Chlorinated lime as a hand wash; decreased child birthday-related infections death rate to less than 1 percent 1857: Louis Pasteur- Bacteria causes diseases; pasteurization process; vaccines for rabies and animal anthrax 1865: Joseph Lister- Antiseptics; use of carbolic acid 1876: Robert Koch- Tuberculosis and human anthrax

6 1909: Paul Ehrlich- Syphilis treatment 1928: Alexander Fleming-Penicillin 1935: Gerhard Domagk- Prontosil 1941: Howard Florey- Advancement of Penicillin

7 Bacteriostatic v. Bactericidal 5 ways to kill/slow bacteria: 1. Interfere 2. Disrupt 3. Weaken 4. Prevent 5. Mimic

8 Random genetic mutation Transformation Conjugation Transduction

9 Discovery of resistance Staphylococcus resistance The danger was not taking too much Penicillin. The danger was taking too little to kill the bacteria but enough to educate them to resist penicillin. - Fleming Misuse

28 Tell your healthcare professional you are concerned about antibiotic resistance. Ask your healthcare professional if there are steps you can take to feel better and get symptomatic relief without using antibiotics. Take the prescribed antibiotic exactly as your healthcare professional tells you. Discard any leftover medication. Ask your healthcare professional about vaccines recommended for you and your family to prevent infections that may require an antibiotic.

29 Never skip doses or stop taking an antibiotic early unless your healthcare professional tells you to do so. Never take an antibiotic for a viral infection like a cold or the flu. Never pressure your healthcare professional to prescribe an antibiotic. Never save antibiotics for the next time you get sick. Never take antibiotics prescribed for someone else. Prep and cook food properly. Limit meat intake from factory farms

30 Should it be a requirement to only use antibiotics in livestock only when an animal is sick? Is it ethical to use antibiotics as a growth hormone? Do you think there is a link between antibiotic resistance in humans and animal livestock? Do you think it is possible to create a sustainable food source without factory farms? Does it really matter what condition these animals live in? What is more important the condition of the animals or meeting the meat demand?
