Antibiotic Resistance & Bacterial Evolution: What’s the Real Story? (Long Story Short, Ep. 3)

Bacterial evolution and antibiotic resistance is one of the all time greatest hits regarding evidence for Darwinian evolution. It’s true that antibiotics do stop working sometimes, AND antibiotic resistance is a form of evolution. But is this a demonstration of the creative power of Darwinian evolution, or is there something else going on?

Unbelievable, honestly these are so good... Filled with knowledge& lovable jokes. Do more!

[DiscoveryScienceChannel]

Thanks everyone for coming to view the video premiere. Glad so many people liked the video. We will have more coverage of this video and future LSS videos at EvolutionNews.org.

Antibiotics resistant are breaking already pre existing genes. No new genes evolved. Its gave the mutant an advantage in certain environment. There is no single example of mutation create new function genes

Finally, someone addresses this topic.
Please, bring on a lots more on this subject.
Also, please include viruses.
Thank you.

Who's here after Professor Stick video ?

"Wow, you are so rich! What's your secret to becoming a millionaire?"
"It's easy: First start with a billion dollars and then light a bunch of it on fire!"

An interesting analogy, very clever... definitely got a chuckle out of that.

Please make more of these! Very informative and quality videos :)

This is gold.... deserves billions of views

Brilliant, entertaining, and absolutely true. It's a miracle YouTube hasn't banned it yet.

Bacterial gene expression switch from one pattern to another according to the enviromental conditions, they do so by using different types of sigma factors, each factor control a specific set of functional genes by binding to a specific promotor sequence and directs its transcription, for example, sigma factor 70 is in control during the logarithmic phase of growth, but when the nutrients are depleted or the cell exposed to damaging agent, the cell switch from sig70to sigma 38 which leads to alteration of the cellular metabolism and translation toward the stationary phase, where the cells are insensitive to most antibiotics, this state is known as persistence, this programmed reaction of bacterial genome is an example how bacteria own a predetermined genetic algorithm to adapt to an changing enviroment.

So, nobody gonna talk about how fun this animation is?

Thanks Discovery Science!
This video was quite entertaining and informative.

Perfect for my 10th grade biology class! They should actually pay attention and learn something!

I recently watched a presentation by an evolutionist where he basically said from the time the bacteria's form was established it hasn't changed in its billion year history. I don't think he grasped what he said.

So when you make the environment easier to live in, the organisms de-evolve? Yea makes sense to me. Just look at people in society...

This channel should have 1M+ Subs. Long story short, bacteria always STAY bacteria, no matter the number of detrimental mutations or beneficial mutations that they acquire.

Selling the wheels off your car makes it a worse car, but it allows you to buy stuff to make it a better house. The bacteria were adapting to their new environment. That’s kinda the point

You guys are doing great work exposing the myth and fables of evolution theory, keep it up! "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers (school teachers, university professors); and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables." (2 Timothy 4: 3-4)

The irony of calling this, "Long Story Short, Ep. 3, " is not lost on me. :)

I am a former atheist.
Massive creation and massive design information for consciousness are proof of God - far more than not.
Everyone who harmed me in the past were atheists.
Evil is an effect of distance away from God and the absence of repentance.
