Antibiotic Resistance Evolution Simulator

Education

Replay the Luria-Delbrück fluctuation test and see why resistance mutations that arise by chance before drug exposure produce wildly uneven counts across cultures, unlike the near-uniform Poisson counts an induced response would give. A treatment lab shows the mutant selection window, why sub-inhibitory doses are a risk, and how combination therapy lowers the odds of a doubly resistant cell. It's a generic teaching model with no treatment guidance.
