Tekst Storyboardowy

  • Huh, I never knew the depth of the agricultural ways of using antibiotics. I guess that explains why people have more resistance, because some of the food we eat contains the antibiotics that need to be used to help us.
  • WAIT! One more thing. I also saw in this article the abbreviations MRSA and MDR. What do these stand for?
  • Yep, now you're starting to catch on. Now if you have no more questions...
  • MDR stands for Multiple Drug Resistant and MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
  • Okay okay, here we go. Lets start with MDR...
  • Wait wait wait, the what now? I'm gonna need a bit more of an explanation here.
  • As I said MRD stands for Multiple Drug Resistant. This would be in reference to bacteria. If you try to treat the same bacteria with the same drug every time it will try to evolve and build a resistance to that drug in order to still infect you. Bacteria that accomplish this become resistant to whatever drug was being used on it every time. If the bacteria succeeds multiple times, it becomes resistant to multiple drugs; hence the abbreviation MDR
  • MDR Bacteria
  • Hah HAH. I win!
  • Aw man...
  • Antibiotics
  • Now on to MRSA. This stands for, as I said, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. S. aureus is a kind of bacteria and methicillin is an antibiotic. Now methicillin is part of the same family as amoxicillin and penicillin which are all made from the same compounds. This means that if you're resistant to one, you're resistant to them all. MRSA is resistant to many antibiotics used and infections from this bacteria are common in hospitals making it one of the most dangerous MDR bacterias.
  • MRSA
  • HAH! I'm going to infect you now and there's nothing you can do about it.
  • NOOOOOOO!
  • I see, so MRSA and MDR are related in that MRSA is a type of MDR bacteria. Interesting. Now, what is the best thing we can do to combat this who antibiotic resistance thing?
  • As I said in the beginning, we can't really unteach the bodies of those who have resistance to antibiotics to not have resistance anymore. but what we can do is help those who don't have resistance. We can stop giving the animals we eat for food antibiotics so we aren't taking them in when we dont need to. And we can stop using antibiotics to treat smaller infections like Pneumonia and using too much when doing so.
  • So a lot of what we can do is up to those who farm our food and us ourselves. Got it. Well, thank you for giving me all this information, it has really helped me understand what I read in that article.
  • You're very welcome. Its good to see that you are so dedicated to the work you are learning to do. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some reports I have to write. Please feel free to ask any more questions when and if you need.
  • THE END
