Pertanyaan

Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain microbes. Antibiotics destroy other microbes that damage human tissues. They are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, including gonorrhea, tonsillitis and tuberculosis. Antibiotics are sometimes called ‘wonder drugs’ because they can cure diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia and scarlet fever. But when the antibiotics are overused, or misused, these drugs make a person sensitive being attacked by a superbug.

Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous microbes. If a drug destroys too many harmless micro-organism, the pathogenic ones -the dangerous microbes- will have a greater chance to multiply. This situation often leads to the development of a new infection called superinfection. Extensive use of some antibiotics may damage organs and tissues. For example, streptomycin, which is used to treat tuberculosis, has caused kidney damage and deafness.

Resistance to antibiotics may be acquired by pathogenic microbes. The resistant microbes transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes and cause them to become resistant. During antibiotic treatment, non-resistant microbes are destroyed, but resistant types survive and multiply.

To avoid the side effect of antibiotics, you’d better not urge your doctor to prescribe antibiotics. Keep in mind that antibiotics are only useful for bacterial infections and have no effect on viruses, so they cannot be used for children pox, measles, and other viral diseases.

Choose one from the following which is not the effect of using antibiotics improperly?

Organs and tissues are damaged.
The pathogenic microbes multiply.
Harmless micro-organism are destroyed.
Pathogenic microbes become non-resistant.
New infection which is called superinfection develops.

Kita diminta untuk memilih satu dari lima pernyataan yang ada di pilihan jawaban yang tidak sesuai dengan teks yang telah disediakan. Teks di atas membahas mengenai efek-efek yang ditimbulkan oleh penggunaanobat antibiotik yang tidak sesuai. Dari keempat pilihan jawaban, pernyataan yang tidak sesuai dengan teks adalah pilihan D.Pathogenic microbes become non-resistant yang artinya "kuman penyebab penyakit menjadi tidak kebal." Hal ini dibuktikan dari kalimat pertama paragraf ketiga, yakni kalimat "Resistance to antibiotics may be acquired by pathogenic microbes," yang artinya "Kekebalan terhadap antibiotik bisa saja didapat oleh kuman penyebab penyakit." Dari kalimat tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa, kuman penyebab penyakit bisa mendapatkan kekebalan atau imunitas akibat dari penggunaan obat antibiotik yang tidak sesuai, bukan menjadi tidak kebal, namun mereka malah akan menjadi kebal terhadap obat. Jadi, jawaban yang paling tepat adalah D.
