    Bonnie Bassler discovered that bacteria "talk" to each other, using a chemical language that lets them coordinate defense and mount attacks. The find has stunning implications for medicine, industry -- and our understanding of ourselves.

    I got excited about this just from listening to Bonnie talk about it. At first I thought she was nervous, but then I realized it was just her and her excitement for her subject. And her down-to-Earth analogies made it incredibly easy to understand. Thanks so much for sharing this presentation. I learned a lot!

    Thank you for attributing the students who are doing this important work. So often the students who do research as part of a class don’t know that other students are being directed and taught by amazing instructors-some of whom- may not be as diligent about honoring them early on.

    I love the conclusion; that the conversation can go both ways. Her team are developing both - away to stop bacteria from talking to each other (protect us from them) and a way to encourage their conversationability (protect them from us) It could so easily have just gone the one way. Nicely done. And much appreciated.

    Is there any evidence or examples of these "communication molecules" in processes (digestion, immunity, vitamin synthesis etc) mediated by the human microbiome? thanks!

  • @ShallowBeThyGames
    @ShallowBeThyGames 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Never thought of other "friendly" bacteria, always thought that "probiotic" stuff, while having an element of validity was blown out of proportion regarding it's benefits. Suppose I should do a little research on it, starting to find this whole immunology and virology quite interesting.
    Thank you very much for setting me straight.

  • @lillazyboi
    @lillazyboi 8 ปีที่แล้ว +44

    My question is: Just like how bacteria can build resistance to antibiotics, can they also counter the quorum sensing block?
    Bacteria are very smart

    • @avinashsunder5176
      @avinashsunder5176 8 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      +lillazyboi actually, they have the potential to develop resistance - but it would probably (and hopefully) happen only after widespread commercialization and overuse of the QS blocks. Then we would have to discover the next anti-bacterials..

    • @lillazyboi
      @lillazyboi 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks!

    • @richardeldridge8335
      @richardeldridge8335 8 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      +lillazyboi I don't think in can be countered. Bacteria immunity is the result of non-immune bacteria dying off. The survivors don't develop resistance, they already have it. As she stated in the video, antibiotics select for immune bacteria. What is happening here is that a molecule is blocking the receptor to the quorum sensing molecules. It would have to develop a brand new receptor, and at the exact same time, develop a brand new communication molecule, and that's never going to happen. And, hypothetically, if it did, you'd only need to block that new receptor.

    • @iluan_
      @iluan_ 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      They could by developing mutations that change the type of molecules that control quorum sensing as well as their corresponding receptors. Which is good news since that would require a lot of changes instead of just requiring getting a plasmid or two, which is the case in the resistance mechanism of many current antibiotics.

    I love this stuff. Just the idea of giving a person with a fatal bacterial disease time enough to fight it off is amazing. I could be wrong but it also seems possible to allow a person to go on living a normal life while suppressing a disease indefinitely if they couldn't beat it outright.

  • @GoPieman
    @GoPieman 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    She doesn't relate to bacteria like "some complex animal". She doesn't say they're more important than animals. She uses expressions like "talk" to put across her message in a more fluid way, and adds some fun...nobody actually thinks bacteria talk or can think at all.
    She's excited because these are important scientific conclusions, understanding interaction and the game changer that is to manipulate bacteria like this.

    I did not miss your bigger point. You did mine.
    I do read books, search the web and watch tons of hour long documentary series and yes there's not nearly as much information on an 18 minute clip. However there's a lot of diferent ways to retain information and/or being able to integrate that information with previous or future acquired knowledge (topic too long).
    In any case, any thing from this 20 min clip will be more valuable than your next reality show/soap opera can offer.

    Wonderful presentation on so many levels. Naturally, the ones i focus on demonstrate the PANACEA system: the idea of independent holons that make up a holarchies, data exchange, cooperation and emergent effects. The sovereignty of bacterial communities is recognized and a NPV index is assigned to them. (Don't envy who has to count them.)

    The main thing that scares me about GM and GE foods is that any DNA from them that isn't denatured by our stomach acid (this can be a lot depending on the health of stomach secretions, which tend to be quite unhealthy in an Americanized diet plan) ends up being absorbed by the bacteria that inhabit our intestines. These bacteria are imperative to many processes within us, and are integral to our immune system, vitamin B and K absorption, and many more important processes. It is estimated that these gut flora have around a hundred times as many genes in aggregate as there are in the human genome. This is what you want Monsanto to be experimenting with? :-/
