Problem or Solution Frame
Guiding questions for the problem or solution frame:
Problem: (What is the problem?)
The need for new antibiotics to to battle resistant bacteria
Solution: (What is a possible solution?)
Scour nature to find organisms with antibiotic properties.
Solution: (What is another possible solution?)
Enhance natural germ fighting chemicals to make them more effective or create synthetic
antibiotics from scratch using genetics or making a chemical change.
Solution: (What is another possible solution?) Restore the effectiveness of older antibiotics by taking
away the resistance from bacteria.
Solution: (Which solution has the best chance of succeeding?)
Possibly restore, because they are already on the market and wouldn't require years of research
to approve their use.

Summary: The article discusses the problem of finding antibiotics to battle resistant bacteria. It
suggests a possible solution as searching nature to find organisms with antibiotic properties.
Another suggestion was to create antibiotics through genetics or synthetically. A third
suggestions was to restore the effectiveness of current antibiotics. The third suggestion probably
has the best chance of succeeding because they are already on the market and wouldn’t require
years before approval.
