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

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.

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?
