Lesson 1: Lesson 1: MicrobesMicrobes
Lesson objectives:
1)To be able to list at least 4 ways through which microbes can enter
our bodies
2) To be able to list 4 natural barriers the human body has to defend against microbes
3) To be able to state why microbes get past our first line of defence
Unit B2: Unit B2: What are What are microbes?microbes?
STARTER
Try and define a microbe in your own words.

MicrobesMicrobesMicrobes are micro organisms that are too
small to be seen. A pathogen is a microbe that can cause diseases if it enters
the body:
…or other natural openings…
They can be breathed in through the mouth or nose
They can enter through cuts or bites in the skin or just by touching something
They can be ingested (eaten) through the mouth
19/04/23Microbes: our defence against Microbes: our defence against themthem
Our bodies have many defence mechanisms against invading microbes:
If our skin is cut platelets seal the wound by clotting
The breathing organs produce mucus to cover the lining of these organs and trap the microbes
The skin acts as a barrier
Stomach produces stomach acid
Tears contain an enzyme that kills bacteria
How quickly do microbes How quickly do microbes grow during our school ?grow during our school ?

AimAim: : To investigate the effect of antimicrobial products
• Equipment:
• Method: - what did you do?– Dependent variable (the factor you will record/measure)– Independent variable (the factor you will change)– Control (what factors will you keep the same?)Draw diagram of how you made up the petri dish
• Results: Draw a results table to record what you see next lesson.
• Conclusion:
• Evaluation: Was it a fair test? Did you get any strange results and why?

C/B Grade• Explain how dilution affects the activity of
antibacterial chemicals and why.
A Grade• Explain how do you think the concentration
of cosmetic products and medicines is calculated to give maximum benefit from the minimum amount of chemical.

C/B Grade• How dilution affects the activity of antimicrobial
chemicals and why.
A Grade• How do you think the concentration or dosage in
cosmetic products and medicines is calculated to give benefit from the minimum amount of chemical
(if a range of bacterial species has been used)
A* Grade• Do you think antimicrobial chemicals are more effective

If bacteria can grow that fast….then why
isn't the earth covered with bacteria?!?!!
19/04/23
The main reason may be that conditions are rarely
optimum!
Bacteria also can’t “hunt” for food…so existing nutrients
eventually run out.
19/04/23Graph showing how bacteria Graph showing how bacteria grow in a sealed containergrow in a sealed container
• Steady phase – growth of new bacteria equals death of old bacteria
• Fastest increase in growth – bacteria divide every 20 mins.
• More bacteria die than are made.
• Growth gets going.

‘‘Outbreak’ scenarioOutbreak’ scenarioYou have been notified of an
unidentified microbe.
• How will you find out how it spreads?
• How will you find out how fast it spreads?
19/04/23DiseaseDiseaseA disease is any condition where the body isn’t working as it should. This could be caused by a malfunction in the body (as with diabetes), or it could be caused by the two types of MICROBE:
VirusesBacteria
•1/1000th mm big
•Living cells (some are harmless)
•Grow very quickly
•Affected by antibiotics
•Examples: food poisoning, tetanus, sore throats
•1/1,000,000th mm big
•Genetic info inside a protein coat
•Not affected by antibiotics
•Release poisons
•Examples: colds, flu, polio, chicken pox

FungiFungiFungi are another form of microbe. There are many different varieties ranging from bread mould to mushrooms.

Today’s lessonToday’s lesson• To be able to describe, in
detailed steps, how our immune system fights microbes
• To be able to explain how our immune system works when a microbe attacks for the 2nd time.
• Produce a basic storyboard with steps on how our defence system works.(C/B grade)
• Write own key words
• Annotated diagrams on storyboard using the correct scientific terms (B/A grade)
19/04/23Pathogens usually have Pathogens usually have ‘antigens’‘antigens’ on their surface on their surface which is recognised by our which is recognised by our
immune systemimmune system
Antigens cause our immune system to produce ‘‘antibodies’antibodies’
19/04/23
Fighting diseaseFighting diseaseIf microbes do enter our body they need to be neutralised or killed. This is done by WHITE BLOOD CELLS:
White blood cells do 3 things:
1) They produce antibodies to neutralise the microbe
2) They eat the microbe
3) They produce antitoxins to neutralise the poisons produced by microbes
19/04/23
The type of WBCthat engulf the pathogen are called phagocytes
The parts that extend to engulf the pathogen is called a pseudopod and are like ‘false legs’

• Create a storyboard which describes how our WBC’s fight pathogens.

Producing antibodiesProducing antibodies
Step 1: The white blood cell “sees” the antigen (microbe)
Step 2: The cell produces antibodies to “fit” the antigen
Step 3: The antibodies fit onto the antigens and cause them to “clump”
Step 4: The antigens are “eaten” by the white blood cells

Fighting diseaseFighting diseaseNATURAL IMMUNITY
This is when antibodies are produced by a person when needed or they are passed on by the mother during pregnancy.
ARTIFICIAL IMMUNITY
A vaccine with dead microbes is injected – the body is “tricked” into producing antibodies ready for the real thing. This is called PASSIVE IMMUNISATION
19/04/23
Using AntibioticsUsing AntibioticsAntibiotics can be used to kill bacteria.
However, there are two problems:
1) Overuse of antibiotics can lead to bacteria becoming resistant
2) Antibiotics have no effect on a virus, like the common cold. A virus must be allowed to “run its course”.

Antibiotic resistanceAntibiotic resistance
• Antibiotics are made naturally by bacteria/fungi to destroy other micro-organisms. E.g. penicillin
• However – bacteria become resistant to an antibiotic. So new antibiotics have to be developed every time a bacteria becomes resistant.
19/04/23
‘‘Superbugs’Superbugs’• Superbugs are bacteria that are resistant
to all know antibiotics – except one. But we don’t know how long that will last!
• Just a tiny change in one gene can cause a bacteria to mutate – and it can become a superbug.
19/04/23
• One superbug by itself won’t do much damage – but if it reproduces quickly then a large bacteria population could be resistant to an antibiotic.
19/04/23
2 things increase the risk of 2 things increase the risk of antibiotic resistance:antibiotic resistance:
1. People taking antibiotics they don’t really need.
2. People not finishing their course of antibiotics

Write down at least 3 ideas Write down at least 3 ideas of how we can stop of how we can stop
superbugs spreading in our superbugs spreading in our hospitalshospitals
19/04/23How can we stop the How can we stop the superbugs?superbugs?
1. Developing new antibiotics
2. Better hygiene in hospitals to reduce risk of infection
3. Only prescribing antibiotics when a person really needs them
4. Education! .......Making sure people understand why it’s important to finish their course of antibiotics

So why is it taking so So why is it taking so long to find a cure for long to find a cure for
HIV?HIV?
19/04/23
Hmmmm….Hmmmm….
HIV is an uncommon type of virus called a retrovirus, and drugs developed to disrupt the action of HIV are known as antiretrovirals or ARVs.
These come in a variety of formulations designed to act on different stages of the life-cycle of HIV.
19/04/23
The AIDS virus mutates rapidly, which makes it extremely skilful at developing resistance to drugs.
To minimize this risk, people with AIDS are generally treated with a cocktail of ARVs that attack the virus on several fronts at once.
ARVs have proved very effective at treating people with AIDS. But they are not a cure. If treatment is discontinued the virus becomes active again, so a person on ARVs must take them for life.
