Week 7 of 22
SEPTEMBER 25 TO 29
Fiction. No real student, family or grade appears.
Antibiotic stewardship. The prescription that helps this patient a little is the one that costs the next patient a lot.
Cell wall, protein synthesis, DNA replication, membrane. Four things to break, and each class of antibiotic breaks one.
Disks of antibiotic on a lawn of bacteria, and you measure the clear zone where nothing grew. For any one antibiotic a bigger zone means this organism is more susceptible to it.

We measured the same plate and got different numbers. Agree on a rule, then remeasure everything.
How resistance arises and spreads. It is not that individual bacteria learn, it is that the ones that already survive get to reproduce.
Zone measurements, comparison, a claim about which agent was most effective, and the measurement disagreement written into the limitations.
HOSA is choosing competitive events. I am looking at medical terminology because the vocabulary overlaps with what this class already makes me learn, and doing two things with one effort is the only way I get.
