  2. We are learning to… • explain how antibiotic resistance can occur (Foundation – at grade C). • explain why antibiotic resistance is happening (Foundation - at grade C) • evaluate the consequences of overusing antibiotics (Higher – above grade C)

  3. Key Vocabulary • antibiotic • bacteria • evolution • mutation • natural selection • resistance

  4. Extension task Some diseases can be tackled by using antibiotics and vaccination. Explain how the MRSA bacterium has developed resistance to antibiotics. 5 marks Highlight the answer to show where you think the marks will be given.

  5. Mutation (caused by change in the genetic code) • Some bacteria are more resistant to antibiotics. • These bacteria no longer respond to antibiotics. • The more resistant bacteria divide and multiply. • A new resistant strain has been formed.
