Below is an extract from a text explaining the focus of the Longitude Prize (a £10 million reward offered for finding the solution to a major challenge of our time). Like many explanation texts, this one includes sub-headings intended to assist the reader.
Select the most appropriate sub-heading from each drop-down list.
The development of antibiotics has been vital to our survival, yet the rise of antimicrobial resistance is threatening to make them ineffective in the future. |
Radical change is needed to address the global problem of growing anti-microbial resistance, to ensure a health care system that can sustainably control and treat infections. |
The challenge for Longitude Prize will be set to create a cheap, accurate, rapid and easy-to-use point-of-care test kit for bacterial infections. |
Point-of-care test kits will allow more targeted use of antibiotics, and an overall reduction in misdiagnosis and prescription. Effective and accurate point-of-care tests will form a vital part of the toolkit for stewardship of antibiotics in the future. This will ensure that the antibiotics we have now will be effective for longer and we can continue to control infections during routine and major procedures. |
