Select a bacterium, which shows antibiotic resistance in your hospital or your preceptor site or one you have found in the literature. Take on the personality of the bacterium and write your discussion from the perspective of the bacterium to give the historical trend of your life. Include the following in your post:
When did your life as a bacterium begin?
How well-known are you in the bacteria world?
What is your favorite antibiotic? Why?
What is your least favorite antibiotic? Why?
What is your specific pattern of resistance? Interpret the specific pattern of resistance for that specific bacterium. For example, What antibiotics are the bacterium resistant to, what is the evolutionary mechanism or pattern of resistance? What are the results of any of your susceptibility tests? Where do you see yourself in five years based on the current trend of reducing antibiotic resistance?
If you are a bacterium in the hospital, how many cases/percentage of infection cases will need to be present before some action is taken against you?
What is the latest news about you in the literature or on the CDC or WHO website?
