Used by AQA
Specification 4.3.1.3 · Paper 1
Revise: Bacterial DiseasesSalmonella food poisoning and gonorrhoea are both bacterial diseases, so antibiotics can act against their pathogens. However, they enter the body in different ways and therefore require different methods of control.
Keep the two transmission routes separate: Salmonella is ingested in contaminated food, whereas gonorrhoea is spread by sexual contact.
Do not say that condoms treat gonorrhoea. They reduce transmission; antibiotics treat the bacterial infection.
