microbe wars
like robot wars/ gladiators but with antibiotic resistant microbes | |
The antibiotic resistant microbes battle to the death with other
microbes in televised encounters in petri-dishes. A jokey, tongue-
in-
cheek commentator narrates, fills in during occasional lulls in the
action. Meanwhile new antibiotics evolve. Hopefully
There might be tiny castles built of
nano-bricks. Troy? And weenie
little cannons
The Evolution of Bacteria on a Mega-Plate Petri Dish

Well, there are all kinds of interesting dynamics between bacterial colonies. But to follow them, you'd really want to be point-sampling and sequencing to see which bugs had recently evolved a better resistance gene, or how their quorum sensing apparatus* has adapted. |
