"Experience the fascinating world of bacterial evolution in this interactive simulation! " Watch as three types of bacteria - blue (non-resistant), yellow (moderately resistant), and red (highly resistant) - battle against antibiotics in a compelling demonstration of antibiotic resistance. Roll the dice to simulate daily medication adherence, and witness "how missing doses affect bacterial growth."

Bacteria Simulation

Blue Bacteria (Least-resistant): Yellow Bacteria (Moderately Resistant): Red Bacteria (Highly Resistant):

Enter initial bacteria counts and click "Start Simulation"

Rules:

Roll 1,3,5,6: Taken a dose of antibiotic, Remove 5 bacteria

Roll 2,4: Skipped the dose for the day

Reproduction: +1 per surviving type
