At the start of class we turned in the unit packet pages 13-18. Those pages were about how bacteria grows and how some of the antibiotics we used had killed them in their tracks. That assignment lead us in to a talk on how some bacteria could live in the zone of inhibition(to the right). Even thought you can't see it there are tiny colonies of bacteria that are in that zone right now! These bacteria are resistant to that antibiotic. The way that they can live there is because ether went threw spontaneous mutation or conjugation. Those are some big words. I hope you took notes! After we did the DOD which was Tuberculosis. The agent was bacteria itself and it is highly contagious and it's a huge health concern. Then we did a little lab on how a girl fell of her bike and got infected with bacteria and went to the hospital. They tried many antibiotics on her and she got better. some were able to resist antibiotics A,C,D. I won't tell you the answer myself. All of the above concluded the day.
The next scribe is Mark.
