10. Key Point #1
Prokaryotic
Eukaryotic
LIFE
Plants and Animals
Bacteria

11. Characteristics of Bacteria
Key Point #2: Characteristics of Bacteria-
Prokaryotic cell
Single celled
Contains circular DNA
Can replicate and grow on its own

12. Characteristics of Bacteria
Key Point #3: Since Bacteria have DNA, they can evolve too.
We have seen bacteria change over time (evolve) due to a changing environment.
The bacteria need to adapt to this changing environment.
How does bacterial evolution affect us???

13. Resisting our drugs
Antibiotics, such as penicillin, are drugs that kill or prevent the growth of bacteria. When antibiotics were first discovered, they seemed to represent a miracle cure for human diseases like pneumonia, typhoid, bubonic plague, and gonorrhea. However, almost immediately after the introduction of antibiotics, bacteria began to change — resistant strains of bacteria soon evolved that could grow even in the presence of a particular antibiotic, rendering our drugs ineffective in battling these resistant infections.

15. The problem is much like running on a treadmill — medical researchers must sweat just to stay in the same place in their race against the bacteria. Drug companies develop and introduce a new antibiotic, only to see the evolution of resistant bacterial strains within a few years. This necessitates the development of yet another antibiotic, which, in turn, becomes useless in the face of newly evolved resistant bacteria.

16. How exactly does antibiotic resistance evolve
How exactly does antibiotic resistance evolve? How have such small and simple organisms managed to repeatedly outpace our drugs? The process is quite simply evolution by natural selection — but bacteria have a few secret weapons that give them an edge. Imagine a population of bacteria infecting a patient in a hospital. The patient is treated with an antibiotic. The drug kills most of the bacteria but there are a few individual bacteria that happen to carry a gene that allows them to survive the onslaught of antibiotic. These survivors reproduce, passing on the gene for resistance to their offspring, and soon the patient is populated by an antibiotic resistant infection — one that not only affects the original patient but that can also be passed on to other patients in the hospital.
Key Point #4: Why do bacteria become resistant?

18. What can we do?
A strategy being considered for use in hospitals called cycling. The idea is simple: doctors in a hospital would cycle through antibiotics, prescribing a particular antibiotic for period of time and then switching to a new one. Researchers and clinicians thought that cycling would reduce levels of antibiotic resistance because the bacteria would not have time to evolve to keep up with the changing drugs — just as a resistant strain for Drug #1 evolves and spreads, along comes Drug #2, and strains resistant to Drug #1 no longer have any advantage.
Key Point #4: What is a solution to antibiotic resistance?
Cycling different antibiotics
