NEW VIDEO: The Deadliest Being on Planet Earth – The Bacteriophage

A war has been raging for billions of years, killing trillions every single day, while we don’t even notice. This war involves the single deadliest being on our planet: The Bacteriophage.

Another collaboration with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation! Two more to come : )

You guys are the only thing I ever experienced when after just watching one video (I think it was called.. a selfish case for being kind or something like that) it made such a deep impact that i RUSHED to your patreon page to support. I hope Philipp is not too ill X

Every time I watch Kurzgesagt’s videos I’m happier to be one of their supporters. The best YouTube channel IMO. Loved the Worms reference!!

Fantastic video!

Very good video! I loved the reference to Worms by Team 17 for killing bacteria!

Please add this video to the "Improving Humanity's Future" playlist you haven't made yet, along with the Universal Basic Income video at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl39KHS07Xc&amp;lc=UgwqZmhVpKC0KayNXk94AaABAg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl39KHS07Xc&amp;lc=UgwqZmhVpKC0KayNXk94AaABAg</a>

Wonderful! Loved the use of the Wilhelm Scream at 5:12.

No, they specialize in bacteria. On the other hand, yes, that’s what viruses came from.

Very true, using antiseptics daily rather than mechanical removal is a bad idea. But alcohol swabbed is useful in other ways as rubbing alcohol is a different kind of solvent than water. At any rate, it’s a mechanical method for drying out or removing stains or bacteria.

Crissa Kentavr

This is why triclosan-soaked and alcohol-swabbed everything is one of the dumbest things we as a species have ever done. Mere soap is effective. There is no need to go further than this for everyday cleanliness. Dousing the world in antibiotics assures that only the fittest and fiercest bugs will survive, and then ravage and kill us all.

Can you link to an article about the patient that was mentioned?

Super bugs + antibiotic overuse has been a concern of mine for a few years now. Brilliant video. Keep up the great work.

I liked the Worms game reference :D

Great video. Also I hope your cancer treatments are going well and you're on the path to wellness. Keep up the good work!

INB4 Steven Universe reference.

Can’t they evolve to be able to infect human cells tho?

Nice. Minor nit: the singular of "bacteria" is "bacterium".

Matthias Urlichs

Another beautiful production! Love the Worms homage in there too 😀

Leon Johnson

Hopeful video!

Adam Rak

Most, if not all videos with Gates Foundation are so hope-inducing. Thank you!

I loved the video. Interesting that there are more viruses than living things on Earth.
