Bacteriophage (Hybrid Medical Animation)

[Flolu100]

cool animation, why cant I do sth. like that

[Unoshin]

LOOK OUT



[mphello]

Too bad there isn't (or is there?) something smaller than a virus that destroys viruses. Viruses are jerks.

I think of bacteria as friendly, social creatures.

Fungi: TOO social.

Enough anthropomorphisizing things that need to be killed.

[mphello]

The irony of bacteria getting their comeuppance from something even smaller: the virus.

[hameed]

gross, im going to kill myself now

[justcallmegod2]

How can something that tiny consisting only of some proteins and RNA act look so evolved and even lifelike? It has no consciousness, no brain, but still..

[smaug131]

@justcallmegod2 because virusses don't look like this in reality

[NorthForkFisherman]

@smaug131 The T4 does. There are a number of others that use a similar method. The lambda virus is very similar and is used in molecular biology for manipulation of small gene cassettes. Most, however, are isocohedral in shape. Some have envelopes stolen from previous hosts. For something that exists on the borders of life and non-life, these things are remarkable, and damn scary sometimes.

[smaug131]

@NorthForkFisherman O.o awesome!

[NorthForkFisherman]

@smaug131 There's a lot of online resources that are available if you want to learn more about this subject. Lewis' "Molecular Biology Made Simple and Fun" is a good start too.

[smaug131]

@NorthForkFisherman ok, thanks!

[jakubgt1]

@NorthForkFisherman

If I'm not mistaken all bacteriaphages have a complex shaped capsid. I'm quite sure the other comment was referring to bacterial viruses and not animal viruses. But it is true, any virus that leaves the host cell via extrusion will leave with a part of the host.

[NorthForkFisherman]

@jakubgt1 Yeah, I was speaking of virus in general at that point.

[888elchar]

crap

[0pracyloh0]

Video Ends @ 0:30 @_@...I feel cheated.

[Ihatesuperman]

bitch!!!!!!! :O It ends at 0:30 WTH???!!!!???

[Thedarkslayer77]

is this good or bad? this is messing me up -_-

[NashvilleKildCountry]

Some MRSA cell created 23 sock accounts.

[cvxls]

what happes here????

[Chaos1999man]

is that bacilus bacteria??

[ClamChaoderFTW]

@Chaos1999man It is E Coli.

[twistdspy]

kinda like getting raped... at a cellular level

[vonfinkelstein]

@twistdspy LOL!

[Repudation]

This is a horror movie for a cell

[2930048]

Bacteriófago

son virus que infectan exclusivamente a bacterias.

Al igual que los virus que infectan células eucariotas, los fagos están constituidos por una cubierta proteica o cápside en cuyo interior está contenido su material genético, que puede ser ADN o ARN de simple o doble cadena, circular o lineal (en el 95% de los fagos conocidos es ADN de doble cadena), de 5.000 a 500.000 pares de bases. El tamaño de los fagos oscila entre 20 y 200 nm aproximadamente.

ruso

[stereocili]

Wow! Nice animation! :-)

[globegerinabulloides]

do bacteriophages destroy human cells?or bacterial cells only? i

[KungFuBiologist]

@globegerinabulloides As suggested by their names, bacteriophages are virus specific to bacteria (they can't infect human cell or any others eukaryotics cells)... 

[IIIIandrew]

they are basicly nano robots

[imalmostdone]

It's all very horton-hears-a-who crossed with a mad scientist. It gives me the shivers.

[33Bubblewrap]

Creepy.

[oneguycoding]

I'm waiting for disney to do the animated "It's a Bacteriophage's LIfe".

[CuppaS00p]

Drift along, land on bacteria, inject DNA, go on being a bunch of useless proteins forever. Sounds like an awesome existence.

[etmax1]

@CuppaS00p That's what most people tend to do isn't it? Some don't even inject their DNA, and other get to inject their DNA several times :-)

[xraidedlok]

@oneguycoding HAHAHAHA

[GHOSTTOYS]

@oneguycoding loll osmosis jone

[MadMAn12gauge]

@oneguycoding no they would just make bacteria look stupid just like they make every other creature in their terrible movies

[NashvilleKildCountry]

@oneguycoding

Lol Pixar needs to get to work.

[1955stefanie]

@oneguycoding I wouldn't be surprise. lol

[KpBrian]

Anyone up for Left4Dead and Resident Evil LIVE in the near future?

[adrianangelo456]

you are wrong zombies arent real bacteria are are you using your brain right

[CuppaS00p]

@KpBrian

What, are there going to be zombie bacteria, or something?

[ghoang]

This is like "Aliens" on a cellular level. though It'd be cool to see the newly-replicated bactericalphages tear out of the cell.

[xlif3x]

Im sure the questions have already been answered, just thought i'd give a little info.

Where looking at one of the was a virus infects its host. (it looks like its a t4 lambda phage)

yes bacteria can get viral infections too (usually from different viruses that infect us).

however viral infections in bacteria (and in some cases humans) isn't necessarily bad.

Bacteriophages (virus that infects bacteria) can cause genetic exchange between individuals, causing recombination and driving evolution

[sukiwooty]

T4 is T4, lambda is lambda,

lambda has no legs~~

that's a T4 in the video~

[Seas00Gurl]

you're right

[bobaneko]

is this is hause bactiria affect a other bactirial

[MarshmallowRadiation]

No this is a virus infecting a bacterium.

[MarshmallowRadiation]

no viruses CAN attack bacteria, that's what this video shows.

[meowludo]

best comment I have ever seen.

[bobaneko]

>+>

[youngbleeb]

arent bacteriophages virulents that turn good or benign bacteria into illness causing bacteria?

[NJoBio]

I love watching these videos =) !

[Zimplony]

thx this has helped quite a bit with the pathoge nsection of my GCSe's does anyone no where else there are some good infection or antibody attack videos I could study from? many thx

[SoulSeekerofTruth]

Yes,

Try the vid called "Nasty Bugs in Your Mouth-Spirochetes" by implantdrdm

Its my Fav!

[quessbee123]

Is this a good thing or, bad thing?

[Pilkingtube]

hey again, debatable, in this case its a good thing, its killing an e. coli bacteria

[gwy1991]

It depends on the location

If it attacks the e.coli in our gastrointestinal tract,it will be a bad thing

[dodow1234]

as an astronomi lover, its like another live in there

[SynneDennis]

"Well, HIV is the first attacks your immune system (I think) so I think it was a laboratory experiment gone horribly wrong. "

That's not necessarily true because the white blood cells and lymph cells are also cells of the human body. Like the variety of viruses found on Earth, it just so happens that HIV infects those specific cells too, probably because of protein/antigen recognition.

Also, HIV can affect more than just the immune system.

[simonfrid]

technically, no your wrong.

1) most microbes and viruses (since viruses are not microbes) do not target immune cells.

2) triggering the immune system is different from attacking/targeting the system as HIV does.

3) not even all microbes trigger the immune system. many bacteria inhabit our body, are beneficial.

"Geez, people, read a book before you make an ass of yourselves."

[Kromoh]

You know, many infectious bacteria actually have tools to defend themselves from the immune system. That's why there are so many lethal bacterial diseases. Indeed, there is a difference between targeting the immune system and defending from it. But notice how smartyslim said "affect the immune system" - which is pretty much correct.

Geez, people, don't be an ass.

[eckosama]

I am the immune system

[Kromoh]

More like, the immune system is a part of you.

[eckosama]

no.

I=immune system.

it's not a biconditional statement :P

[rockguyisonthemove]

what the heck do u mean?

[Kromoh]

It's not an equality, it's a category. Your immune system is one of the parts of yourself. Your immune system is contained in you (along with other stuff).

As he said up there, there is a difference between targeting the immune system and defending from it. HIV targets the immune system. Flu virus only defends from it.

[slappycider]

That is a really cool demonstration of how it works! great job!

[skiba13]

enfia no cú os outros minutos em preto do video! caralho!

[macandfriends]

omg..... your such an idiot.... viruses are not a sci-fi alien that came from mars...

[macandfriends]

yes, I do know, i am enthralled with bacteriophages. I was just saying that to someone who said that they came from space. i cant find that comment though... but please do not comment on comments that were 5 months ago

[Adun4184]

oh sorry i thought you were talking about the video

[macandfriends]

its fine, I'm just tired of people who try to start arguments from comments that happened months ago. but its ok

[pat555x]

OMG... r u kiddin me?

[Darkwolfy88]

great animation of the T4 virulent virus relationship with the E, Coli bacteria

[exteram]

it isnt demostrated wehere viruses come from, we cant know it, but we know that is possible to creato efective 8and functional) viruses in alboratory. the 99% of viruses, i think, are natural, but some retroviruses, like HIV are quite strange... isnt it?

[TheSonOfDumb]

Well, HIV is the first attacks your immune system (I think) so I think it was a laboratory experiment gone horribly wrong.

[duna87]

LOL!!!

enzymes have no nuclei!!! it's like saying hemoglobin has a nuclei!!

[Ameriijuana]

Definitely. Going by that, all the enzymes in your body are man made, too. You're a robot.

[SSBB231]

Viruses are so horrible. How dare they infect a bacterium and appropriate of its organelles to make more viruses inside it and eventually burst and destroy it. Much like:

"Alien" the movie

[enjoytheride85]

It's actually kind of scary isn't it? Little silent killers... most people don't realize what goes on in our bodies all the time.

Awesome animation.. the virus looks a little to "alive" for my taste... but nevertheless awesome depiction of whats going on at a cellular level.

[Razor6731]

Phages are beasty!!!

[aliensexfiend]

This is great inspiration for my Master's Research Project at Biomedical Communications, University of Toronto

[7anadi]

Oh my God

how u can do this animasion

amazing

marvelous animation

very very good

what I can say

Oh HybridMedical u r a great man

i cant speak english very well and i didn`t have more words to say more and more about ur anomation

just i can say thank u

thank u

[ictusletalis]

i love bacteriophages they look like nano robots

[Swansen03]

@ictusletalis a virus looks, acts, and behaves like a robot, as it it not, from a typical understanding, alive..

[Josh350]

wow excellent animation! i can see other e-coli cells being infected on the back ground. Wow, it would be cool to actually see this at that level.

[OrelSkalni]

Beautiful clip, thanks for posting!
