Directions: Answer using complete sentences! Use the information you have been given to answer questions about: Fighting Disease with Medicine

Alexander Fleming was another important scientist. In 1928, he was trying to grow some dangerous bacteria in a small dish. The bacteria were the kind that caused blood poisoning. One day, Fleming noticed a green mold growing in the dish. It looked something like bread mold. Fleming looked at the mold through a microscope. He saw that a yellow fluid was coming out of the mold. It was killing the bacteria. He called it penicillin it was the first antibiotic.

1. What did Fleming do when he saw the green mold growing in the dish?

Louis Pasteur was a French scientist who developed some of the first vaccines. One day, a small boy was bitten by dog with a disease called rabies. At the time, anyone infected with the disease eventually died. Pasteur had just developed a vaccine for rabies, but it was for animals, not for people. The boy’s parents begged Pasteur to try to save their son. He finally agreed to try the vaccine on the boy. Pasteur’s vaccine saved the boy’s life.

1. Explain what Fleming had found, what he called it, and what it was.

2.   Explain what antibiotics are used for and how they are used today.

3.   Explain who Louis Pasteur was, and what he was known to have developed.

   In hospital rooms of the 1800s, many people died from infections that started in uncovered, or open, wounds. A Scottish doctor named Joseph Lister guessed that germs might be causing these infections. He looked for and found a good “germ killer.” It was carbolic acid. Lister began to cover open wounds with bandages soaked in weak carbolic acid. Lister also washed his instruments and his hands with carbolic acid. He even tried spraying his operating room with carbolic acid.

   1. What did Doctor Lister begin to do to help prevent infections?

Lister began to cover open wounds with bandages soaked in weak carbolic acid. Lister also washed his instruments and his hands with carbolic acid. He even tried spraying his operating room with carbolic acid. The results were great. The number of infections went down. Many patients stayed alive who would have died before. Lister’s carbolic acid was the first antiseptic, or germ killer, that worked. Soon, doctors learned that steam could kill germs, too. Today, medical instruments and bandages are sterilized by putting them in hot steam. Doctors wear sterilized gloves, clothes, and masks.
