1 Unscramble these answers… Microscopic variety of life - sminragocormi System of cells, tissue and organs which defend the body from infection – muenim Technical name for white blood cells – ctyseoceul Cells skilled in ingesting/eating microbes – ghapotyesc Infection caused by a bacterium - monlaslela Bonus: Which ‘A’ is which...? 1.A ‘name label’. 2.Chemicals produced by white blood cells which kill microbes. 3.Medicine which fight bacterial and fungal infections but NOT viral.

2 Unscramble these answers… Microscopic variety of life - microorganism System of cells, tissue and organs which defend the body from infection – Immune Technical name for white blood cells – Leucocytes Cells skilled in ingesting/eating microbes – Phagocytes Infection caused by a bacterium - Salmonella Bonus: Which ‘A’ is which...? 1.A ‘name label’. Antigen 2.Chemicals produced by white blood cells which kill microbes. Antibodies 3.Medicine which fight bacterial and fungal infections but NOT viral. Antibiotics

3 Superbugs: An unstoppable menace? Identify the key stage in creating a “superbug” Explain the main risk factors for developing a “superbug” Model and apply understanding to solve challenges

5 Superbugs Also know as Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria. They are nasty pathogenic microbes which have, through genetic mutation, become resistant to major antibiotics. I.e. Most antibiotics will NOT kill them. This makes them very difficult to treat and very dangerous.

6 Risky Business Modern day use of antibiotics has been blamed for a rise in “superbugs”. 1)Antibiotics are used too often 2)Many people do not finish their full course of antibiotics (they stop taking them too early) Why does this increase superbugs?

7 First statement could be- “Person develops bacterial infection” though bonus points for creating your own!! Extension: if you finish early answer this question: Why is it a good idea that in the UK antibiotics are only available from a doctor/on prescription? Superbug Generation

8 Superbugs: An unstoppable menace? Identify the key stage in creating a “superbug” Explain the main risk factors for developing a “superbug” Model and apply understanding to solve challenges
