1.3 'Quiz": Viruses, Bacteria, Protists, and Fungi
disease is unpleasant, but most people recover within a week. Shigellosis is transmitted from one person to another through bodily wastes. You can
catch shigellosis from a baby when changing its diaper. People also catch the disease by drinking contaminated water. The best way to avoid
shigellosis is through frequent hand-washing with soap
many common
People with severe shigellosis take antibiotics to kill the Shigella bacteria. Unfortunately, Shigella bacteria are becoming resistant
antibiotics. Even if you take these antibiotics, Shigella can continue to reproduce in your body and make you sick
Bacteria pass the genetic information for antibiotic resistance to other cells during conjugation Rearrange the steps to show how antibiotic
resistance can spread through a bacteria population. Place the first step at the top and the last step at the bottom
The second Shigella cell reproduces asexually. Both daughter bacteria are resistant to amoxicillin.
The antibiotic-resistant Shigella connects to a second Shigella cell.
amoxicillin
The second Shigella cell changes shape, making it resistant
One Shigella cell's genetic material shifts, causing the cell to change shape. The cell is now resistant to the antibiotic amoxicillin.
The antibiotic resistant Shigella passes a chunk of genetic material to the second Shigella cell.
