A text transcript of the 1999 Holiday Lectures on Science, 2000 and Beyond: Confronting the Microbe Menace.
Classroom Resource
DVD chapter lists from the 1999 Holiday Lectures on Science, 2000 and Beyond: Confronting the Microbe Menace.
Video Clips
Dr. Brett Finlay shows how bacteria can grow rapidly to incredible numbers, and also explains what limits this explosive growth.
Video Clips
Dr. Brett Finlay enlists a student volunteer to show the surprisingly high amount of bacteria found in his own mouth.
Video Clips
Dr. Finlay and a student volunteer show how Listeria infects a cell, using a marble and some yellow gelatin.
Video Clips
Dr. Finlay and another student volunteer illustrate how Salmonella infects a cell, using a marble, plastic wrap, and some yellow gelatin.
Video Clips
This microscope video shows how live Listeria move via actin filaments in an infected cell.
Video Clips
Salmonella are a common bacteria associated with food poisoning. Dr. Finlay shows live Salmonella under the microscope to demonstrate how far and fast they can move.
Video Clips
Penicillin, as shown in this video, causes the cell walls of bacteria to rupture.
Video Clips
Dr. Finlay and Dr. Richard Ganem use physical analogies to compare the size of bacteria and viruses relative to a standard mammalian cell.
Video Clips
Dr. Finlay, using his student audience, gives a live demonstration of how an antibiotic-resistant strain of tuberculosis managed to spread through the passengers on an airplane.
Video Clips
Using a bagel, a syringe, and blue dye to illustrate how some virulent strains of bacteria inject virulence factors into a cell.
Apps
Learn about the science and techniques used to identify different types of bacteria based on their DNA sequences
Lectures
Dr. Donald Ganem describes how epidemiologists, physicians, and microbiologists work together to identify and study pathogens.
Lectures
Dr. Brett Finlay explains why bacterial diseases continue to be a major health problem worldwide, causing a third of the world's deaths every year.
Lectures
Dr. Finlay showcases three types of bacteria to illustrate how molecular biology is allowing researchers to probe the molecular workings of bacterial infections.
Lectures
Dr. Ganem analyses the complex causes of epidemics—how changes in the environment and in human social behavior can give rise to new infectious diseases.
Classroom Resource
A guide written for teachers to accompany the 1999 Holiday Lectures on Science.
Series
In four presentations, Donald E. Ganem, MD, and B. Brett Finlay, PhD, discuss the latest advances in understanding how pathogens invade the body and how this knowledge is leading to the development of new therapies. They also explain how new infectious diseases are recognized and how epidemics...
Animation
Bacteria can transfer genetic material, and thus drug resistance, to other bacteria via conjugation.
Animation
Watch this animation to see the molecular tricks that an infectious strain of Escherichia coli uses to infect your gut.
Animation
When two different strains of influenza infect a single cell, their genetic material can mix freely, resulting in a new third strain of influenza.
