LETS RECAP

NATURAL SELECTION

• Natural selection occurs in every organism
• It begins with a mutation
• If the mutation favors the organism, it will be able to reproduce
• Eventually this mutation will be relied on
• When it is adopted by the general population, it becomes a trait

HOW SUPERBACTERIA FORMS

• The bacteria develops a mutation that is resistant to an antibiotic
• This bacteria is not wiped out due to improper usage of antibiotics
• It multiplies so every bacteria of its kind has this resistance
• One of these already resistant bacteria develops a new mutation
• The process repeats

HOW YOU CAN PREVENT IT

• Use antibiotics thoroughly
• 1. This prevents the multiplying of resistant bacteria by eliminating every specimen
• Wash hands thoroughly
• 1. This also prevents the multiplying of resistant bacteria

COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS

• If I feel fine, all the bacteria are gone
• 1. When using antibiotics, use exactly as prescribed; even the length
• Hand wipes and hand sanitizer kill all the germs
• 1. They only wipe out 99.9% of bacteria
• 2.This leaves .1% left to multiply
