Protozoa Notes
http://www.box.net/shared/ig8rltzfor
This is a link on Protozoa. Go over these notes. Make notes on these notes. There will be an open notes quiz on this, as well as on your disease table assignment.
Protozoa are our final organism in microbiology. In your disease table assignment, use the internet (search "CDC" and ) research these protozoan disesases: Add them to your table of disease.
African Sleeping Sickness
Malaria
Red tide, paralytic shellfish poisoning
Toxoplasmosis
We will continue the presentations next day

Rise of Superbugs, NDM-1 and XDRTB
Before 1920, bacterial infections were very difficult to treat. When antibiotics came into use, they appeared to be a miracle drug, killing all bacteria. Now, natural selection has caused the emergence of superbugs, or antibiotic resistant bacteria.
Watch the following video and answer the questions below as you watch. Write your answers in pen.
Your presentations on disease is due NEXT PERIOD. The questions below are due Jan 30, 2018 during class

4. In some countries, there is no antibiotic policy. How can this lead to superbugs?
5. What is scary about the "NDM-1" gene discovered in India?
6. Indian researchers suggested that there ought to be international wartime measures to control antibiotics. What kind of measures did they suggest?
7. What is the only toxic antibiotic that can kill NDM-1?
8. In Greece, a patient came home with a superbug. In the absence of antibiotics, how did they treat the infected bowel?
9. Drug resistant XDRTB has a high rate of death. How does the hospital protect other patients from the TB patient?
10. Why don't Pharmaceutical companies do more to create more antibiotics?
11. Why is bleach cleaning one of the solutions for hospitals?
12. If antibiotic won't work, what is the only solution to remove bacteria?
13. Look on the internet to discover what drugs can be used against
