microbe wars

like robot wars/ gladiators but with antibiotic resistant microbes

The antibiotic resistant microbes battle to the death with other microbes in televised encounters in petri-dishes. A jokey, tongue- in- cheek commentator narrates, fills in during occasional lulls in the action. Meanwhile new antibiotics evolve. Hopefully

There might be tiny castles built of nano-bricks. Troy? And weenie little cannons

Description (displayed with the short name and URL.)

Well, there are all kinds of interesting dynamics between bacterial colonies. But to follow them, you'd really want to be point-sampling and sequencing to see which bugs had recently evolved a better resistance gene, or how their quorum sensing apparatus* has adapted.
