A previously uncultured bacterium, Eleftheria terrae, is able to make
teixobactin, a new antibiotic for which there is no detectable
resistance.

I say that this is an interesting discovery, but the way that this discovery was presented was not done well. It goes way too fast to follow what the speaker is talking about and it also doesn't explain what the bacteria cells actually do or how they do what they do. Also, I understand that the LA Times needs revenue from advertising, however, it would be nice if we didn't have to sit through an advertisement before watching the video.
I think that this is an incredible discovery, but as Owen said, it wasn't presented very well. I think it was way too confined and they should have made it longer. They just said what the antibiotic does, not even how it does it. This was an incredible discovery, but it could have been presented much better.
This article was extremely interesting, but in my opinion the structure was a little fast based and information was presented in a confusing way. However, I think that it is amazing that we can kill harmful diseases with this microbe. This can save at least 35,000 people per year. They are on the verge of a cure for many harmful diseases. The only problem I see, is that they are hard to produce. The article did not mention how many you need for an antibiotic that will save someone.
Like everyone said, this is an amazing and interesting discovery. Also, it was kind of confusing and went really fast. Another thing that could have been better was to include how the antibiotic worked and how much we need
