Experiencing student activities for age 15 Bacteria in hospitals Robert Tatsis r.tatsis@uu.nl
This hour Theory • Introduction to bacteria in hospitals • Didactical background of this assignment Practice • Identification of bacteria • Discussing answers and didactics Main question: What characteristics of the material are suited for promoting talent development?
A module for grade 9 students At school • Making preliminary assignment “the structure of bacteria” • Lot of schools; no biology in grade 9 At the campus - day 1 • Introduction to subject (50 min) • Choosing which subject students want to specialise in At the campus - day 2 • Specialisation on specific topic • Building a model of a bacterium • Designing an hypthetical antibiotic
SA MRSA • Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus • Treatment antibiotics SA: 2 – 55 euro • Treatment antibiotics MRSA: 601 – 882 euro • If they work! • More side effects • Staphylococcus Aureus • 1 in 3 people is a carrier of S. Aureus • Ofter without being sick
MRSA causes • Pneumonia • Wound- and skininfection (pictures will follow) • Bone infections • Sepsis (for example toxic shock syndrome) • Can be lethal
Abces Carbuncle (multiple boils)
How do we test on MRSA? • Doctor takes a monster from nose, throat and wound (if wounded) • Mostly patients who have been to hospitals abroad (why?)
How do we test on MRSA? • Cultues grow on petri dishes with antibiotics • Practical assignement on this theme
What do do when infected? • Patient must be isolated • Only contact through airlock and with facemasks • Try to treat with the expensive antibiotics
