Mention six key factors that may contribute to the global antibiotic crisis at present.
discuss the misuse of antibacterial drugs in depth and the affect this issue is having on society. Also discuss how this has led to the development of “superbugs”.
Write short explanatory notes on how change of lifestyles and modernization contribute to the spread of diseases under the following concepts/topics:
through food production,
ability to store food longer,
increasingly domesticated animals,
increased consumption of raw foods,
the worldwide trade of agricultural products
through food production: Here you should focus on how modern processes contribute to the spread of diseases. For example, Modern processes involved in food production increase the risk of food contamination with pathogenic microorganisms. This can come from machinery used for food processing or food handlers. The answer given should have sufficient points for marks allocated. Your explanations can be supported by examples of microorganisms or diseases.
ability to store food longer: growth of microorganisms in food stored for extended period. Consider factors such as temperature fluctuation, poor packaging etc.
increasingly domesticated animals: How an increase in…

- Antibiotics are widely used in raising livestock in the US. Visit the websites below for the general public and learn a little more about this practice. Denmark has chosen to significantly restrict the use of antibiotics in livestock and can be seen as a potential model for viewing that impact on livestock industry, but Denmark is a small country with different economic constructs than in the US. Although there is controversy about the impact that this practice has in the development of antibiotic resistance of significance to the human population, it is enough to raise concerns and promote discussion about what, if any, action should be taken in the US. POST your response to the following questions, along with a rationale that includes some evidence to support your opinion (reference where your information comes from). 1) After looking at some of the arguments on both sides, do you think a US ban is warranted? 2) Would you be willing to pay more for your food as a result? 3)Is…arrow_forwardAll of the following are thought to contribute to the emergence of disease excepta) advances in technology.b) breakdown of public health infrastructure.c) construction of dams.d) mass distribution and importation of food.e) widespread vaccination programs.arrow_forwardExplain why vector-borne pathogens are difficult to control.arrow_forward
