What strategy should I use to get "Insane Bolt"?

There is an achievement called "Insane Bolt" that requires to beat the game with Bacteria in less than 365 days. I want to beat it on Brutal.
My strategy proved to be close to the goal (around 400 days), but not quite reaching the goal.
My strategy was of starting in India, evolving until I reached Skin Lesions, then evolving Water 1 and 2, Drug Resistance, Air 1 and 2 and Extreme Bioaerosol, Bird 1 and 2, etc. It proved to be a very fast-paced strategy, but hasn't yet reach its goal.
What strategy should I use to beat the game with Bacteria on Brutal, without pre-modifying genetic code or using cheats?

From It's Spicy's blog (The strategy was written for Mega Brutal, but should work on Brutal just fine):

Ice Age Mega-Brutal:Bacteria

I have tried other plague types on the Ice Age scenario but they always fail to infect Iceland and Greenland quick enough. So I though if I use the Bacteria’s special abilities together with Cold 1 and 2, it should help. Getting Extreme Bioaerosol early helps to get those 2 countries infected as early as possible. Necrosis helps infection in those 2 countries as the dead people also infect. That’s all. Thanks!
