Antibiotic resistance is quickly becoming one of the greatest healthcare challenges of our time. It is soon expected to claim more lives annually than the COVID-19 pandemic or cancer. Yet, the urgency of this problem is not reflected in our efforts to solve it. Because blocking bacterial growth is key in treating disease, greater insight into the bacterial cell cycle is needed. Currently, the bacterial cell cycle is primarily studied under optimal lab conditions. This is equivalent to studying the behaviour of an animal kept prisoner in a zoo. Although valuable observations can be made, essential information will be missed. To obtain a more accurate view of bacterial growth, I will…
