Why is MRSA so dangerous?

Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding

Success Criteria:	You will show your learning by...
Bacteria can evolve rapidly because they reproduce at a fast rate. Stages of antibacterial resistance include: 1. Mutations of bacterial pathogens produce new strains. 2. Some strains might be resistant to antibiotics, and so are not killed. 3. They survive and reproduce, so the population of the resistant strain rises. 4. The resistant strain will then spread because people are not immune to it and there is no effective treatment. MRSA is resistant to antibiotics. There are links with this content to Antibiotics and painkillers. To reduce the rate of development of antibiotic resistant strains: ? doctors should not prescribe antibiotics inappropriately, such as treating non-serious or viral infections ? patients should complete their course of antibiotics so all bacteria are killed and none survive to mutate and form resistant strains ? the agricultural use of antibiotics should be restricted. The development of new antibiotics is costly and slow. It is unlikely to keep up with the emergence of new resistant strains

Keywords:

Mutations: the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form which may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes. (1)
Antibiotics: a medicine (such as penicillin or its derivatives) that inhibits the growth of or destroys microorganisms. (1)
MRSA: a strain of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. (1)
Resistant: to be unaffected by something. (1)

AFL/Key Questions:

Why can bacteria evolve rapidly?
Bacteria can evolve rapidly because they reproduce at a fast rate.
What are the stages of antibacterial resistance?
Stages of antibacterial resistance include: 1. Mutations of bacterial pathogens produce new strains. 2. Some strains might be resistant to antibiotics, and so are not killed. 3. They survive and reproduce, so the population of the resistant strain rises. 4. The resistant strain will then spread because people are not immune to it and there is no effective treatment.
What is the bacteria MRSA resistant to?
MRSA is resistant to antibiotics.
What should be done to reduce the rate of development of antibiotc resistant bacteria?
To reduce the rate of development of antibiotic resistant strains: ? doctors should not prescribe antibiotics inappropriately, such as treating non-serious or viral infections ? patients should complete their course of antibiotics so all bacteria are killed and none survive to mutate and form resistant strains ? the agricultural use of antibiotics should be restricted.
Why can't medical professionals just produce new antibiotics to fight resistant bacteria?
The development of new antibiotics is costly and slow. It is unlikely to keep up with the emergence of new resistant strains

Starter Activity	Differentiation and Challenge question/task
Students to copy and complete the keywords. Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes; Discuss the scientific meanings of the words. Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords. Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'. What does it show? How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?

Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
