NARRATOR
How does bacteria become resistant
to antibiotics, there are many
reasons as to why, so lets start
with one

A WOUND ON THEIR ARM
NARRATOR
Bacterial infections are caused by
many things, the food we eat or
through open wounds. This infection
has occurred through an open wound
from piercing the skin on rusty
metal

NARRATOR
POP UP
The host is prescribed
Ciprofloxacin, a bactericidal
antibiotic. Antibiotics are
engineered to target only certain
bacteria, this means that the
antibiotic cannot unnecessarily
attack healthy bacteria.

NARRATOR
Once the host digests the
antibiotic the stomach acid begins
to break it down, preparing it so
that it can be absorbed into the
stomachs lining through the to
blood stream

The antibiotic now in its chemical

As the antibiotic continues to

As the antibiotic reaches its

NARRATOR
Antibiotics are slowing becoming a
thing of the past, our misuse of
them has created different strains
of one bacteria, creating the super
bug which are resistant to most
antibiotics. Don't rely on
antibiotics or there wont be any
left to rely on.
FADE TO BLACK.
