a.
ToDiscuss:
The validity of an individual’s statement that “I must have become immune to the drug the doctor gave me”, by providing evidence in support of or refuting his claim. As he was recently diagnosed with strep throat.
Concept introduction:
When microorganismscan tolerate a number of antibiotics, which would generally be inhibitory, it is known as antibiotic resistance. Bacteria have characteristic of drug resistance because they have the incredible genetic versatility and adaptability of the bacterial population. The characteristics of antibiotic resistance would be either intrinsic or acquired.
An individual was recently diagnosed with strep throat. After one week of treatment,he redeveloped the infection. He said that he must become immune to the drug that doctor gave him.
b.
