A visual demonstration showing how bacteria mutate and evolve to survive increasingly high doses of antibiotics over eleven days.
In a creative stroke inspired by Hollywood wizardry, scientists from the Kishony Lab at HMS and Technion (www.technion.ac.il/en/) have designed a simple way to observe how bacteria move as they become impervious to drugs. The experiments are thought to provide the first large-scale glimpse of the maneuvers of bacteria as they encounter increasingly higher doses of antibiotics and adapt to survive—and thrive—in them.

Highly recommended as an incredibly striking and clear visual demonstration of bacterial evolution and antibiotic resistance.
