Viral Video Shows How Frighteningly Fast Bacteria Can Evolve
Health experts have warned about the growing risks people face as bacteria increasingly become resistant to antibiotics.A team led by Professor Roy Kishony of Harvard Medical School and Technion Israel Institute of Technology found a way to show just how quickly bacteria can evolve to be resistant, and their video has gone viral.Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson speaks with postdoctoral fellow Michael Baym about how he made the video, and what the team hopes to accomplish with its research.

Time-Lapse Shows Bacteria Becoming Resistant To Antibiotics
Time-Lapse Shows Bacteria Becoming Resistant To Antibiotics
Not since the 1995 medical disaster movie Outbreak has a video made us quite as germophobic as this time-lapse demonstration of bacteria's ability to evolve its way around antibiotics.Carried out by researchers at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and Harvard Medical School, the video tracks the evolution of a strain of bacteria across a giant Petri dish — 120cm in length — as it mutates to cope with increasingly large doses of the antimicrobial drugs doctors use to prevent the spread of bacterial infections.By the point at which the bacteria reaches the center of the Petri dish, it is shrugging off 3,000 times the amount of antibiotic that E. coli can usually tolerate.
