BIOL 3040 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Campylobacter Jejuni, Ciprofloxacin, Campylobacter
Document Summary
** prescribed cipro if you have a bad campylobacter infection*** cipro is very strong. Continued use of antibiotics over time leads to a population that is resistant to the bacteria. These infections are very common in hospitals where antibiotics are widely used: campylobacter jejuni, staphylcoccus aureus, enterococcus faecalis, psuedomonas aeruginosa. ** difference between natural selection is intention humans aren"t trying to invent antibiotics that are resistant--- farmers are picking the plant with the most crops on purpose** Heritability: wash your hands reduce the amount of bacterial on your skin, if you keep using the same antibiotic over and over again it isn"t going to change anything, herbicide/pesticide rotation --- one year. Biol 3040 exam 1: refuge planting a field of crops being sprayed. An adjacent field that you don"t spread anything and allow the weeds to grow and they spread their pollen and the non-resistant genes back into the population.
