Bacteria are incredibly multi drug resistant right now, and that's because all of the antibiotics that we use kill bacteria.

We kill bacteria with traditional antibiotics and that selects for resistant mutants.

During the reporting period, special emphasis was placed on reinforcing rational prescribing of antibacterial medicines in order to reduce antimicrobial resistance.

Fungi don't like to rot from bacteria, and so our best antibiotics come from fungi.

We think that this is the next generation of antibiotics and it's going to get us around, at least initially, this big problem of resistance.

And once you get increased antibiotic resistance, the antibiotics aren't knocking out the harmful strains anymore.

The Martians had no resistance to the bacteria in our atmosphere.

And along comes pneumococcus or another bacteria, streptococcus and boom, they get a bacterial pneumonia.

To take an example close to home there are over 500 species of bacteria now known friendly bacteria living symbiotically in your mouth and throat probably necessary to your health for holding off pathogenic bacteria.

They got the organism to evolve to mildness, and they got no development of antibiotic resistance.

The worst possibility is that a very simple germ, like staph, for which we have one antibiotic that still works, mutates.

7. Expresses its concern about the increase in resistant strains of malaria in several regions of the world

These vibrios, these bacteria, can actually infect people.

A virus grabbed onto a bacterium and it slipped its DNA into it.

And we know staph can do amazing things.

It could be anti bacterial.

They say salt's antiseptic.

They either pop the bacterial membrane, they make the bacterium so it can't replicate its DNA.

Those fungi and bacteria are as highly evolved as humans.

What happens is that bacteria are able to count how many of me and how many of you.

Dr Noah's bacillus? Now, Jimmy, even you wouldn't release germ warfare.

There is a company called Sharklet Technologies that's now putting this on the surfaces in hospitals to keep bacteria from landing, which is better than dousing it with anti bacterials or harsh cleansers that many, many organisms are now becoming drug resistant.

And for certain bacteria we don't have really efficient ways to do that anymore.

Drug resistant bacteria kills, even in top hospitals. But now tough infections like staph and anthrax may be in for a surprise. Nobel winning chemist Kary Mullis, who watched a friend die when powerful antibiotics failed, unveils a radical new cure that shows extraordinary promise.

I recall one patient who was at that point no more than a skeleton encased in shrinking skin, unable to speak, his mouth crusted with candida that was resistant to the usual medications.

And the focus when I'm talking about the diarrheal organisms, as well as the focus when I'm talking about any organisms that cause acute infectious disease, is to think about the problem from a germ's point of view, germ's eye view.

The antibody has the ability to bind selectively to antigens, which can theoretically be any one of a great variety of substances, including biomolecules, drugs, bacteria, viruses and cellular material.

This is now supposed to be my bacterial cell.

This is the bacterial Esperanto.

Already what were thought to be bacteria for generations have been found to compose, instead, two great domains of microorganisms true bacteria and one celled organisms the archaea, which are closer than other bacteria to the eukaryota, the group that we belong to.

And so we started to think if this really is about communication in bacteria, and it's about counting your neighbors, it's not enough to be able to only talk within your species.

And what you're looking at with this namibiensis is the biggest bacteria we've ever seen.

Carole Lartigue led the effort to actually transplant a bacterial chromosome from one bacteria to another.

You will never annihilate the germs.

A piece of paper crawling with germs.

And using indigo, make it anti microbial.

How does nature repel bacteria?

We couldn't have a germ theory of disease before we invented the microscope to see them.

What was actually interesting to us was not that the bacteria made light, but when the bacteria made light.

Professor Colonna said 'We established a link between one bacterial species Lactobacillus reuteri that is a normal part of the gut microbiome, and the development of a population of cells that promote tolerance.

And, after an initial cost of 60 bucks to buy the bacteria, which you'll never have to pay again, one cubic meter of bacterial sand would be about 11 dollars.

So replacing the bacteria DNA with virus DNA turns the bacteria into a factory for making viruses that is, until it's so filled with viruses that it bursts.

It's different when a bacteria comes into the body that's a foreign object we want that out.

We heard that bacteria eat oil?
