What would explain this observation?
- Both named diseases are bacterial, but a food-handling control does not interrupt every route. Explain why the preventive measure fits the particular pathogen.
- Start with a prediction. State the quantities or features you would compare, then decide what evidence could distinguish two explanations.
Build the model
- Salmonella 沙门氏菌 food poisoning follows ingestion of bacteria in contaminated food, including food prepared unhygienically. Bacteria and their toxins can cause fever, abdominal cramps, vomiting and diarrhoea. The specification identifies vaccination of poultry in the UK as a control. Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted bacterial disease that can cause thick yellow or green discharge and pain when urinating.
- Salmonella: Bacteria that can cause food poisoning after ingestion; antibiotic resistance 抗生素耐药性: The ability of bacteria to survive an antibiotic that would kill or inhibit susceptible bacteria.
Which measure directly reduces the specified sexual transmission route?

Gonorrhoea spreads by sexual contact, so barrier contraception blocks that route directly. Microscope lenses and food thermometers address observation and food hygiene - different routes.
Match each technical term to its precise meaning.

Use the definitions to distinguish related quantities and processes.
Choose evidence that can test it
- Gonorrhoea spreads through sexual contact. Barrier contraception such as condoms reduces transmission risk, while appropriate antibiotic treatment targets the bacteria. Some strains are resistant to antibiotics; the historical use of penicillin does not imply that it will now treat every strain. A named symptom alone cannot prove which organism caused it.
- Analyse fictional food-chain and contact-route diagrams. Place each control at the point where it interrupts transmission: prevent contamination, prevent transfer or treat infection under professional care. Compare denominators when evaluating model control data. Do not use actual infected material or ask students to disclose sexual or medical histories.
Which two habits make the investigation or model in this case more defensible?

Stating the conditions and assumptions lets others repeat the work exactly, and recording the supporting evidence lets them check the conclusion. Hiding disagreeing results removes the evidence that could challenge a wrong conclusion, and one measurement can never establish a wider claim.
Work from known quantities
- State the known values and their units. Choose the relation because its assumptions fit this case, then rearrange before substitution.
- Known: fictional food models have 9 contaminated samples among 150 before a control and 3 among 150 after it. Rates are 6% and 2%; the decrease is 4 percentage points, or a 66.7% relative decrease. Matching counts and denominators helps comparison, but other changes could explain the result.
A fictional sample has 4 contaminated items among 200. Calculate the percentage. Use the same sequence: known quantities → model → relation → substitution → unit and interpretation.

The result is 2 %. Known: 4 contaminated items among 200. Use percentage = contaminated / total x 100. Percentage = 4/200 x 100 = 2%. A change from a control needs matched counts and denominators to compare.
Check the conclusion and its limits
- Resistance belongs to the bacterial population, not a person becoming resistant to a medicine. Food hygiene and barrier contraception address different routes. Treatment choices require current clinical guidance; this lesson teaches the specified mechanisms rather than recommending a particular drug.
- Return to the original observation. Explain what the result supports, which conditions it assumes, and one way to test a competing explanation.
Antibiotic resistance means a person becomes resistant to the antibiotic. This claim is false: It is the BACTERIA that evolve resistance, not the patient. A resistant infection means the antibiotic no longer kills those bacteria; the person's own biology is unchanged.
