This amazing video shows bacteria evolving in just 10 days

Researchers have filmed E. coli growing in a giant petri dish laced with antibiotics to show just how easy it is for bacteria become antibiotic resistant.As you can see in the video below, in the course of just 10 days, the E.coli colonies grow resistant to stronger and stronger antibiotics across several generations, eventually surviving even the strongest doses they come into contact with."Seeing the bacteria spread for the first time was a thrill… It's also a powerful illustration of how easy it is for bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics," said one of the researchers, Roy Kishony, from Harvard University.
