Antibiotic Resistance Harry’s Story

Harry had to go into hospital to get his appendix removed. After surgery, everything seemed to be going well, Harry appeared to be recovering normally and was sent home. The doctor, Dr Lai, prescribed him a single dose antibiotic for prophylactic reasons (to prevent any infection occurring).

One week later Harry started to feel unwell, he felt tired and nauseous and had pain around his surgical wound. His mother took him to visit their family doctor, Dr Williams. After examining Harry, she thought that the wound might be infected and prescribed him a second course of antibiotics with a warning to finish the course.

Three days later, Harry did not feel any better. He had a high temperature and his surgical wound was really hurting now. This time Dr Williams sent Harry to hospital for a more thorough examination. After taking some blood tests Dr Lai discovered that Harry had a serious bacterial infection but did not know which bacteria was causing the infection although it appeared to be Staphylococcus aureus.

He saw that Harry had previously been administered some antibiotics which did not appear to be working and feared that he might have contracted an antibiotic resistant organism or a ‘superbug’. Dr Lai decided that administering more antibiotics to Harry might cause more harm than good. He thought that he needed to test a variety of antibiotics on the pathogenic organism before he administered any more to Harry. Dr Lai decided to try out two different tests.
