What Can We Do About Antibiotic-resistant Bacteria?
Summarize, evaluate, and argue the validity of the data that demonstrate the problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Then present a plan for reducing this problem in the future. Keep these questions in mind:
• What data supports the hypothesis that antibiotic-resistance is on the rise? What problems do you see in this data? Can you propose a way to overcome these problems?
• Which methods have been successful in decreasing the number of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains? Which methods have not?
• What shortcomings or errors do these given studies have? Can you design a new study that would overcome them?
