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.

Some people believe that this would spread uncontrollably, and that the bacteria would kill everything in its way.

We genetically engineer bacteria.

How does nature repel bacteria?

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

We heard that bacteria eat oil?

Without water, the bacteria won't survive.

Bonnie Bassler on how bacteria talk

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.

Is your water bottle harbouring dangerous bacteria?

And it's killing bacteria. It's eating them.

Bacteria always control pathogenicity with quorum sensing.

The smallest bacteria is about 200 nanometers.

So we went back to molecular biology and started studying different bacteria, and what we've found now is that in fact, bacteria are multilingual.

Mud and minerals become substrate there are bacteria.

These vibrios, these bacteria, can actually infect people.

So, the bacteria grows hair on the crab.

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.

We was so, so stupid. The most stupid bacteria.

Bacteria are the oldest living organisms on the earth.

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.

You look in his intestines. There are billions of bacteria.

The main characters in the story are bacteria and viruses.

But that's not the only way that viruses infect bacteria.

Those fungi and bacteria are as highly evolved as humans.

Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

But that number of bacteria species can be found in one gram of soil, just a little handful of soil, in the 10 billion bacteria that would be there.

And so, the question for my lab is whether you want to think about all the good things that bacteria do, or all the bad things that bacteria do.

The real bacteria and viruses are so small we can't see them without a microscope, and you guys might know bacteria and viruses because they both make us sick.

If you don't kill them, they'll kill you.

And these are mineral deposits that are also made by bacteria.

We think bacteria made the rules for how multicellular organization works.

And when the molecule hits a certain amount that tells the bacteria how many neighbors there are, they recognize that molecule and all of the bacteria turn on light in synchrony.

But what we were really thinking about is that most of the time bacteria don't live by themselves, they live in incredible mixtures, with hundreds or thousands of other species of bacteria.

Bacteria is in there, eating the same sugars, turning them into acids.

And the bacteria are feeding on the sugar nutrients in the liquid.

So how does it keep its body free of bacteria build up?

Of course what that allows bacteria to do is to be multicellular.

An analogue would be the growth of bacteria in a petri dish.

And when you kill the sex drive, you kill orgasm.

To understand how the bacteria affected the immune system, the researchers grew L. reuteri in liquid and then transferred small amounts of the liquid without bacteria to immature immune cells isolated from mice.

Because the bacteria we was had no idea of what we are today.

We can also see blooms of bacteria, blooms of viruses in the ocean.
