🦠 Modelling an Antibiotic Treatment

A simulation of how antibiotic resistance develops over repeated doses

Set Up Your Simulation

Choose how many bacteria to start with. Each bacterium = one die.

🔵 Normal Bacteria
Container A — survives on 5 or 6
🔴 Resistant Bacteria
Container B — survives on 3, 4, 5 or 6

Suggested: 7 normal, 3 resistant (matches the class activity)

Antibiotic Dose: 0 / 8
Step: —
Welcome! 👋 Press 🎲 Roll Dice to begin Dose 1.
🎉 Simulation Complete! All 8 antibiotic doses administered.
