These new drugs quickly became known as “wonder drugs” because they s
36、aved so many lives that were threatened by major forms of infection. The research that led to their development rested on the belief that chemicals could be found that would destroy specific microorganisms without injuring the human body at the same time. Advances in chemistry and in the knowledge o
37、f bacteria quickened the discovery of such chemicals. In 1933, the first of the sulfa drugs, prontosil, was tested clinically on humans and was found to cure blood infections that would otherwise have been fatal. In 1941, the first successful human tests of penicillin were conducted on cases of stre
38、ptococcus infections. The discovery of penicillin laid the foundation for even more powerful weapons against specific diseases. Within the nest decade, researchers identified some 200 antibiotic substances that were effective against one or another type of bacteria. One of the most important was str
39、eptomycin, found to be potent against tuberculosis and other infections that were not affected by penicillin. Antibiotics gave the medical profession powerful tools that could directly fight a very wide range of specific diseases. They made possible the survival of patients during and after surgery.
40、 No longer was it necessary to depend largely on the bodys own immune system to fight off major infections; these infections could be attacked directly with drugs. Among the most spectacular effects of antibiotics were reductions in the number of deaths from pneumonia and tuberculosis. Now listen to
41、 part of a lecture in a biology class. As soon as we developed antibiotics, new strains of bacteria appeared that were resistant to some or all of the drugs. Hospitals started using antibiotics regularly in the 1950s, but resistance started appearing within a few years. Today, one-third of the patie
42、nts in hospitals are on antibiotics, but antibiotic resistance is increasing the danger of hospital infectionsto the point where people are almost safer staying home than going to hospital. In the forties, penicillin really was a wonder drug. Back then, you could give a patient with bacterial pneumo
43、nia then thousand units of penicillin four times a day and cure the disease. Today, you could give 24 million units of penicillin a day, but the patient might still die. Why? Well, in a way, bacteria are smarter than us. They evolve to counteract any drug we attack them with. A lot of bacteria are n
44、ow completely resistant to penicillin. Bacteria can evolve very effective weapons against antibiotics. Some of them develop enzymes to match every antibiotic we throw at them. All these weapons and counter-weapons match one anotherjust like the weapons in real military warfare. So, no matter what an
45、tibiotic we use, the bacteria will come up with a way to make it useless. How does this happen? Well, if you douse a colony of bacteria with an antibiotic the colony will be killedthat is, all except for a few cells. A few cells will survive because they carry a resistance gene for that particular a
46、ntibiotic. The surviving cells quickly multiply and they pass along this lucky gene to their offspring. And soon you have a new strain of bacteria thats resistant to that drug. One consequence of antibiotic resistance is the reappearance of tuberculosis as a major illness. Twenty years ago, doctors
47、thought tuberculosis was a defeated disease. Since then, however, new cases of tuberculosis have increased by 20 percent. And several strains of the disease are resistant to any drug we can attack them with. Summarize the main points made in the lecture, explaining how they differ from points made i
48、n the reading. Examples of responses to this writing question: Response by student 1 The lecture discusses the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics, which differs from the main idea in the reading that antibiotics are “wonder drugs”. When antibiotics were developed in the 1940s, they were successfu
49、l in curing many diseases. However, bacteria quickly became resistant to some drugs. Today, many people in hospital take antibiotics, but there is the serious danger of hospital infections. Penicillin used to cure diseases such as pneumonia, but today people still die because bacteria are resistant
50、to the drug. Bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics because they evolve weapons against the drugs. They can evolve strategies to fight any drug we give them. This situation is similar to the weapons of two armies use in a war. When you treat a disease with an antibiotic, it will kill the bacteri
