Start Quiz
1.
Which type of pathogen do antibiotics kill?
Bacteria
Viruses
All pathogens
Prions
2.
Why do antibiotics not work on viruses?
Viruses are too large
Viruses are killed by the immune system instantly
Viruses are resistant to all drugs
Viruses reproduce inside host cells and lack targeted structures
3.
Which is an example of an antibiotic-resistant bacterium?
HIV
Influenza
MRSA
Plasmodium
4.
Which action helps reduce antibiotic resistance?
Taking antibiotics for colds
Stopping antibiotics when you feel better
Completing the full course of antibiotics
Sharing antibiotics with family
5.
Resistant bacteria become common because:
Antibiotics make bacteria stronger
Natural selection favours resistant bacteria
Bacteria learn from exposure
Humans become immune to antibiotics
6.
Which statement best describes Virus?
A drug that kills or stops the growth of bacteria.
A drug that relieves pain but does not kill pathogens, e.g. paracetamol.
A non-living particle that reproduces inside host cells; not affected by antibiotics.
A disease-causing organism.
7.
Which statement best describes MRSA?
Any substance taken into the body that modifies or affects chemical reactions in the body.
A drug that relieves pain but does not kill pathogens, e.g. paracetamol.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium resistant to many antibiotics.
A disease-causing organism.
8.
Which statement best describes Antibiotic resistance?
The ability of bacteria to survive exposure to an antibiotic.
A non-living particle that reproduces inside host cells; not affected by antibiotics.
A drug that relieves pain but does not kill pathogens, e.g. paracetamol.
A drug that kills or stops the growth of bacteria.
