The reading passage focuses on the issue that the discovery of antibiotics drugs such as penicillin is a radical medical improvement in twenties century. The presenter`s speech analyzes the same topic. However, he argues that antibiotic resistance makes the hospital more dangerous place, which contradicts what the reading states. And in the lecture, he uses three specific points to support his viewpoint.
First, even though the reading passage claims that antibiotics drugs are known as “wonder drugs” for they can cure much infection, the presenter argues in the lecture that after a few years, antibiotic drugs do not have effect on bacteria any more. This is because bacteria became resistant to penicillin, which means they counteract the drug. Obviously, the professor`s argument disproves its counterpart.
Moreover, country to the statement in the reading that penicillin is an essential weapon against many diseases, the professor contends that bacteria can evolve even effective weapons against antibiotic. Then he supports this point with the fact that some bacteria carry a resistance gene and pass them to their offspring. In other words, many of them develop enzymes to resist drugs and make them useless.
Finally, the presenter asserts that some diseases will reappear, whereas the reading passage claims that antibiotic can erase the illness forever. The professor proves that this claim is indefensible by pointing out that new cases of tuberculosis have increased by 20 percent.
