Unit 21: Biomedical Science Assignment 1: MRSA

Starter Activity �Add detail / labels/ colour in the bacterial cell:

Lesson Objectives �(To observe results from swabbing investigation. ) �To understand the points of entry into the body of bacteria.

Swabbing Investigation �Observe your agar plate. �Draw what you see. �Place the plates in order on the side bench. From most to least bacteria. �Were our predictions correct?

What have we covered so far? Sources of infection: human reservoirs; animal reservoirs; non-living reservoirs 2. Routes of transmission: direct / indirect contact; vehicle; vectors 1.

Routes of entry into the body �Think of the ways in which bacteria can enter the body (in normal situations) �Draw these on the body blanks.
