Document Summary
Rubella, polio re-threat lack of vaccination. Antibiotic resistance - the ability of bacteria to grow and reproduce in the presence of antibiotic. We do not need to stop antibiotic resistance to a single organism. Super bugs are resistant to more than one antibiotic. Genes on the plasmid can sometimes be antibiotic resistant. 3 mechanisms of antibiotic resistance: comes in break it down, comes in change it, comes in send it out. Incidence over a specified period of time define more. The disease we have is the disease we transmit if we are antibiotic resistant we pass that on. Natural history clinical and laboratory patterns of the progress of the organism defined by lab tests, physical symptoms, organ reactions.
