This is a great short and simple video on a serious issue in healthcare. The growing rate of antibiotic resistance is alarming, and we don’t have many viable alternatives. It’s sobering to see how even the highest dose of antibiotics, much higher than you would prescribe a patient, still doesn’t stop the spread of resistant E. coli in this experiment. As a medical student and future doctor, I am wary of the risk posed by over-prescribing antibiotics, and patients taking them incorrectly. I also realize that, even when everyone does everything correctly and as medically indicated, we’re still breeding super bugs. As a patient, though, with a history of serious medical conditions, I’ve also had many frustrating appointments when I was unable to get the antibiotics and was sick longer than necessary, sometimes dangerously so. With Americans being the biggest consumer of antibiotics in the world we obviously have an overuse issue, but I also don’t think under-prescribing is the answer. From personal experience, I believe that better communication and physician access could go a long way toward mitigating this issue. Many common colds are viral, and so antibiotics aren’t indicated, and illness will likely play out in several days. However, it might also be bacterial, and an a well prescribed antibiotic can alleviate a potentially serious illness. Oftentimes it’s impossible or impractical to tell which, and doctors will default toward assuming it’s a virus and sending you on your way. This would be fine if you as the patient could simply call back in three days and get an appropriate antibiotic prescription phoned in if symptoms persist. However, many providers require you to come back to the office for a reevaluation, which means additional scheduling, waiting, copays, and still no guarantee of resolution. On the other hand, some doctors may unnecessarily prescribe an antibiotic “just in case”, in order to save the patient the potential hassle of another appointment. At the end of the day, medicine is personal, and individual judgements need to be made on a case-by-case basis by empathetic, educated doctors. Health care providers should also work to make sure patients are educated on different pathogens, disease processes, and the proper application of antibiotics. I’m not saying this doesn’t happen already, but oftentimes it can come across as unsympathetic or demeaning to the patient’s intelligence. The governing principle of beneficence dictates that we do the best we can for our patients and treat them with respect. As a doctor I plan to stay educated on this subject, and hope that I can use sound judgement in my antibiotic prescriptions. I also will keep informed about newer options going forward as medical science is constantly evolving.
bro. calm down.

RN here, please add human nutrition to your studies beyond the Vitamin K injection in neonates. Thank-you for your dedication to quality of human life.
bro made an essay
Was this your letter/essay as part of your application for med school or something? This is TH-cam. No one is reading all of that.
Wow, it is amazing that these ecoli were able to develop resistance within less than 12 days.
They didn’t. This is not how it works. In a group of 10 million bacteria there are a few of them who are already resistant. All the others die immediately. The resistant bacteria remain and multiply. In your body your immune system fights antibiotic resistant bacteria just as easily as normal bacteria. So when you take an antibiotic that kills 99% of non resistant bacteria the 1% that remains is killed by your immune system like nothing. Problems arise when you have a large enough group of antibiotic resistant bacteria in your body, your immune system might not be able to fight it quickly enough.
@@Johanjames1very well explained, thank you!
Except they did a second experiment where instead of gradually introducing the antibiotic, they had the 10x right next to the 0x gradient. The bacteria were unable to grow on the 10x showing that there were none that were already resistant.
I just don't understand how a Harvard scientest allowed her in the lab with no protective equipment on, espcially during an experiment with bacteria.
because e coli, which populates the human digestive tract, is not an air-borne pathogen, so masks do not matter. It is considered a BL-1 (biosafety level), the lowest level. Working with e coli is generally not dangerous. A visitor should not touch or ingest the e coli.
Not all hunting accidents are accidental
It may have been a harmless strain of e coli but I agree
Because it's not real. They're mocking thier subjects. It's our job to discern truth. The industry that reinforces fear, produces the product they claim is the cure. The reality is, the pharmaceutical industrial machine engineers the bacteria to sicken us. They pretend to engineer the antibiotic treatment. The antibiotic treatment is the final nail in your coffin, post fleeting of your savings as they pretend to help you as the cull you. The white lab coat minions, are indoctrinated tools in the elites tool chest. Highly paid arrogant executioners.
Probably because it is not a groundbreaking experiment but a demonstration of a will known phenomenon to raise awareness among the public.
Blame it on all the businesses who put antibiotics in all the animal feed in order for them to make an extra .50 cents.
dude 50 cents times billions adds up... you can't really blame capitalists for being capitalists, you blame consumers for ignorantly purchasing. just my opinion though.
Blame it on ignorant consumers using antibiotics as an everyday cure-all and not the last resort drug that it should be
@@snaplash precisely
Yup... I don't understand how people blame consumers... like most of the damage was done by these businesses, not consumers.
Antibiotic resistance was observed even before fist patient ever received the penicillin. But of course the overuse is a problem and it escaped it much faster.
I'm suprised no one else was wondering why, she's not in lab gear, or at the very least, have gloves on.
I just said this😂
Because she's entitled elite journalist
Because e-coli is everywhere . You probably came into contact with some today.
@@TasmanianTigerGrrr thinking like that is how corona happened 😂
@@TasmanianTigerGrrr Yes, but they are not resist to 1000X dose of an antibiotics. This mutant if it comes in contact with the body can cause serious harm.

Bacteriophages are an upcoming alternatives of antibiotic resistance bacteria. I am personally using bacteriophages for my chronic infection and my reports are getting better. Most of us dont have knowledge of bacteriophages as it is confined to Russia and Georgia area and yeah after ww2 antibiotic paced up due to its broad spectrum effect
Is not confined to Russia. It has been studied in many other countries around the world! So you are wrong about that.
Phage cure is also available in EU (Poland). Anyway while phages are useful to fight bacteria, they are not the panacea. Phages are just one of the many weapon in the antimicrobial arsenal to fight bacteria. Said that there are some bacteria that becomes resistant to phages by simply modifying the cell surface receptors in order to make it unrecognizable not letting the phage to attach it or developing enzymes through genetic mutation (like drugs) that degrade phage DNA making it harmless. Anwyay the huge problems of using phages on large scale perspective are: extremely high costs, difficult production method and (last but not least) quality control. Which becomes problematic for a large scale production considering it's a cure/solution far beyond from perfection. And we have no studies about interactions that could affects on the long run. As of today, due to these limitations, phage therapy may only be suitable for specific cases, like yours, and not be universally applicable which would be unsustainable economically and medically speaking.
what happen when the bacteria develop the gene to fight back the virus?
Antibiotic resistant bacteria have been found in a frozen mummy in Greenland. The antibiotic resistant bacteria always exist, but certain antibiotic use can select for it.
Extremely worried about this... 12 antibiotics in less than a year , they change the antibiotics class here and there, have had a chest infection for over a month and now a sinus infection and the sinus infection is not going away with the z pak... I'm constantly getting infections. Idk what to do anymore 😭😭😭 now I think I'll die if I'm resistant

Excellent , solve a huge infection so quick, but can also bring serious side effects ! Cannot be use without prescription and medical supervision.
Why she reaching over it without gloves😂
Its isolated in glass case u fkin noob 😂😂
How do they get rid of the mutatant e coli?
by creating another stronger anti biotics. and bacteria mutate again
The most likely answer is with bleach. A high concentration of it. Bleach is capable of destroying almost anything alive. Bleach does so much differently than antibiotics do. You can't take bleach into your body because it is far too caustic and therefore deadly. Resistance to bleach is almost unheard of right now. Bleach destroys the cell wall by dissolving it and then rapidly destroys everything left through powerful oxidation and denaturation. Oxidation denaturation at that level is simply million of millions of times stronger than their 1000x antibotics column. It causes the proteins to bunch together and end up useless www.livescience.com/3069-bleach-kills-bacteria.html

CRISPR technology
With another antibiotic which is more broad spectrum sometimes. But bacteria once killed by that abx can develop resistence again. That is how clever there cells can be
They can boil the whole solution and reset e.coli bacteria evolution back to where it all started.

hey can i use 10 seconds of footage from this for a video i'm making on AMR? Will there be any copyright issue? I won't be using any sound. This is for an educational non-profit content. TIA
How much of a risk does the new X-Men strength E. coli pose to the general public? I imagine some disgruntled employee throwing the experiment out a window into a street instead of chucking it into an incinerator. Super E. coli would be a messy way to die.
It’s already out there
If you're in the critical care of a hospital and have drug resistant bacterial infections, you'll likely be prescribed the last resort antibiotic, the king of antibiotics made by Japanese pharma Shionogi & Co. called _cefiderocol_ (Fetroja). If that doesn't work, good luck to you!
How can we get it
Incorrect
When health care professionals suspect and confirm multi antibiotic resistant bacteria,they usually prescribe Antibiotics from the Carbapenem class
If that fails,there's a second one even more powerful that can be administered
Antibiotics resistance is no joke and should promptly be treated before it escalates.
Well what do you do when you have certain bacterial infections such as sinus infections? Because it seems like they will never go away on their own
Mystical, every action has an equal and opposite reaction, for sinus is concerned might need to spray insect spray in the room and let it though while staying in the room for mosquitoes, breathing through the lungs too should help, and stay indoors in case you get drowsy, and a have pain killer on stand-by for a headache, and most importantly do not forget to eat well and exercise or engage in any physical activity for the immune system! One thing anyone could forget is mouth digestion, hence is the most important phase of the meal, preferred when eating meals without salt before and after the salty meal; most medicines are gland triggers, and spicy foods may diverge the medication process, oil preserves the medication till drained in the toilet just after the Second meal of the day! I guess it's all about meal and medication discipline, and no medication can work if the body is hungry therfore digested as a meal, hunger can scramble every process, and if money for food is the problem do lesser physical activity. Where there's a will there's a way but not when fooling the life of oneself while I'll, might get chronic! It's all on the palm.

See that, creationists? Evolution. In only twelve freaking days!
They’d still find a way to ignore even this overwhelming evidence.
"but the Lawwd Gawwd did it all in 7" - Some creationist probably
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools," (Rom 1:20-22)
Rom 3:10-11,23-24: "There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. … For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:"

West Virginians poured moonshine on that table ecoli died in seconds 😅😂
There's no reason why the mold that makes antibiotics cannot also adjust and become stronger. If evolution works for one side of the spectrum then there's a way it works for both. I have no doubt we'll win the race to stop antibacterial resistance, maybe Penicillin will evolve and give us an assist. I love watching stuff like this.
That actually makes sense. But why not just use natural antiseptics that virtually no pathogens can develop full resistance to like peroxide, vinegar, permanganate, hypochlorous acid, iodine ..
Absolutely, given time the ciprofloxacin could become the killer disease, while the ecoli could also become the less harmful antibiotic,
The issue, is what happens to us relying on the antibiotic in the meantime, and how long that meantime could be...
@@PeaceNinja007I have resistant UTI , should I drink vinegar with water?
You have a very interesting but simplistic thought. E.Coli doubling time in optimal conditions is ~20 mins while the mold that produces penicilin needs 3 - 7 days for one life cycle. Statistically, bacteria will win the lottery.
@@PeaceNinja007good luck injecting that into your blood stream and not die

We are the third largest country, so having more cases and prescriptions would make sense. However, some other countries do not track or even require prescriptions for antibiotics. The validity of the story is questionable.
Many countries do track and it's measured by a Defined Daily Dose (DDD) per 1000 inhabitants per day, so the size of the country is irrelevant.
“Americans #1 consumers of antibiotics in the world”... well considering the population size when comparing America (50 states in one) to 1 state it makes perfect sense. Nothing shocking... 🙄
Most likely it has been counted per capita.
Land mass doesn't correlate to population though...
China has double the inhabitants than the USA, on a much smaller landmass. So even if it's not per capita as the other guy said, but in total, it is kind of alarming.
Irrelevant. It's measured by a Defined Daily Dose (DDD) per 1000 inhabitants per day. Size of a city, country or continent is completely irrelevant.
