Giant Microbes, Ear Ache
SKU: 18718
|
Overview
Ear aches are one of the most common health ailments found in young children -- and most are caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. (Young children are a common cause of ear aches in adults!)
As the number one cause of emergency room admission each year (and the number two cause of regular doctor visits), ear aches are also responsible for more antibiotic prescriptions than any other condition. Unfortunately, S. pneumoniae is beginning to adapt. In 1967, antibiotic-resistant strains of S. pneumoniae appeared in New Guinea, and have since spread all over the world.

Each GIANTmicrobes® comes with an image and information about the real microbe it represents. They make great learning tools, as well as amusing gifts for anyone with a sense of humor.
