ibssteleaded from Stanmorephysics.com KZN Prep exam/2023 NSC Salmonellosis is a bacterial disease that affects the human intestinal tract. This disease is caused by salmonella bacteria. Most infected people have diarrhoea, stomach cramps and fever. The antibiotic, Ciprofloxacin, is used to control salmonella in humans. This antibiotic kills the salmonella, but it can also cause nausea“and eye discomfort. It has been found that salmonella developed resistance to Ciprofloxacin treatment. Salmonellosis was treated with Ciprofloxacin from 2005 to 2011 and the percentage of Ciprofloxacin resistant bacteria was recorded. The results are shown in the graph below. 35 = gs 3 g & 2,5 2 s 2 2 wn 215 £ S 1 2 05 2 ° 9 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Year 3.2.1 From the extract, identify TWO: (a) Negative side effects of ciprofloxacin (2) (b) | Symptoms of salmonellosis (2) 3.2.2 Explain how the use of the antibiotic resulted in the evolution of ciprofloxacin resistant bacteria.
