Antibiotic Resistance 2D: Selection, Mutation & the Dosing Window

2D petri-dish population model of bacterial antibiotic resistance: susceptible and resistant cells replicate, mutate and die under a live MIC-scaled dose across four dosing schedules, with a stacked population chart showing exactly when under-dosing opens the mutant selection window that a full course closes.

This 2D companion drives the same bacterial population-genetics model as the 3D petri-dish version through a plain canvas view built for reading the dynamics rather than orbiting a scene: susceptible cells (blue) and resistant cells (red) reproduce, mutate and die each generation under a dose you set, tracked live by a stacked population chart. Switch between four dosing schedules — full course, intermittent, under-dose and no treatment — to see directly why a steady dose above both the susceptible and resistant MIC clears the colony, while under-dosing holds the population inside the "mutant selection window" where resistant survivors take over.

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D companion to the 3D antibiotic-resistance petri dish: the same generation-by-generation selection, mutation and fitness-cost model, rendered on a plain canvas with a live stacked population chart and four switchable dosing schedules.
