Yes!Yes! To decay plants and animals to put nutrients back into
the environment There are 10 times as man microbial on and in us than
there are actual human cells We need it to break down food to digests We eat them for food (to make bread, beer, wine,
yogurt, cheese) Marine animals live off phytoplankton's as a main food
source Microbial symbioses is needed to allow plants to grow Biodegrading waste generated for industry and
households They help detoxify soil and water dump sites Used in water filtration to remove organic materials
for filth waters that is eventually returned to rivers ad streams as our drinking supply
About 70% of antibiotics are products of microbial fermentation
Vitamin B12, riboflavin, and vitamin C are products of fermented microbial

Why Do Bacteria Resist?
Why Do Bacteria Resist?
Because they want to surviveThey are fightersSome bacteria can change and adapt to their surroundings within seconds
That is why they have survived for billions of years

How Does Resistance Occur?
How Does Resistance Occur?
Misuse of antibiotics- the fear of germs from people, plants, food, ad in our home
Anomalous Combinations- drug resistant microbes
Enhanced transmissions of resistance factors- increased efficency with resistance exchenage; global travel, budget cuts in health care, increased number of immuneosuppressed people, medicle technologies
Reservoir Hypothesis- increased pressure by drug companies to take more antibiotics, therefore creating more and more thresholds to the products. Resistant bacteria begin to thrive, creating a reserve f antibiotic-reistant bacteria.

Household ProductsHousehold Products
Over 700 “antibacterial” products are sold to the consumer
Ex. Sweat socks, toothpaste, kitchen plastics, cements, paints, cleaning products
Microbes resist their compounds and have been documented in nature
These products end up in the sewer or landfills

SewageSewage Disposal of unused or outdated antibiotics are flushed down the toilette
Ingested Antibiotics are not completely absorbed by the body and pass through as waste.
The waste then goes to the water treatment plant.
The treated water is then pumped into our water systems
How does it effect the natural eco-system?
Do we drink this water?

Runoff Runoff
Rivers and lakes are contaminated with urban effluent run off.
What do you use to wash your car?Do you use pesticides on your garden?
Agricultural run off from farms also have a greater antibiotic resistant bacterial populations. Why?

Medical WasteMedical Waste Discharge from hospitals cause an increase in bacterial populations resistant to certain antibiotics
Both treated and untreated medical waste is disposed of in the domestic sewage systems
No other precautions are taken for these more denser disposal areas
Antibiotic sales total $8 billion each year
50 million pounds each year, with 25 million pounds prescribed to humans

Animal ProductsAnimal Products Antibiotics are often added to animal feeds and fishery waters to promote growth
As humans we are ingesting these antibiotics too and it is possible that antibacterial resistance is growing in our guts
There is also a release to open waters from aquaculture which contains medicated feed
There is the potential of release in the future from molecular farming
Bioaccumulation occurs and is stored in women's breast milk which is then fed to babies

Fruits, Vegetables and Grains
Fruits, Vegetables and Grains
Approx. 300,000 pounds of antibiotics are used on plant production each year
The sprays help with bacterial infections, however, there are now resistant bacteria crops
Most of the antibiotics come off the produce and are washed into the soil ending up in the ground water

AssignmentAssignmentMicrobe News You are the producer of a local news program. Design
a ten-minute news story to tell about the dangers of antibiotics in the environment. Include examples of the diversity of antibiotics that are entering the environment and how they are dispersed. You can present the story in class, videotape it, record it, or create a Power Point demo, or hand it in as in the form of a journal or news paper article.
Minimum of 500 words
Each member of the group needs to hand in the answers to the questions below. Can work on them together or separately but must hand in or e-mail different copies
Should include portions from all three lessons of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (Hand washing lesson, storm drain lesson, and Dr.
guest speaker lesson) http://www.actionbioscience.org/evolution/meade_callahan.html

Questions refer to the article Microbes: What They Do & How Antibiotics Change Them
by Maura Meade-Callahan 1. What effect does the use of antibacterial agents have on our
natural environment? Hypothesize how these agents will affect the evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
2. How many products do you know about that are manufactured with the help of bacteria? Make a point form list.
3. What part of the article did you already know about? What part of the article was the most shocking to you?
4. Will the information gathered from the article and the three the lessons on the Good, The Bad and the Ugly of Antibiotics and Antibiotic products change any of your current behaviours? How and why?
5. Hypothesize what would happen if all bacteria in the world were destroyed.
6. What do you suggest would be an effective message on prescription antibiotic labels that would help consumers better understand antibiotic use?
