Couple things.Guess it shouldn't be a surprise as medical groups have been warning about it for years, but I must admit I was kind of hoping for some amazing new leap in medicine that would avoid it before it became a huge threat
1, 'resistant to an antibiotic', would include resistant to penicillin. There's a huge, huge range between, 'resistant to an antibiotic' and 'resistant to most antibiotics. Is it a problem? Yes. Is that statistic incredibly unhelpful at discerning the true extent of the problem? Also yes.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

There has been some success in using E Coli bacteria and modifying E Coli to munch on this crap. Sure, they can adapt. But we can use other bacteria to fight them.They presumably lose this resistance far more slowly than they acquire them.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Resistance to Penicillin isn't in the same league as the spread of Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus. Your 'stat' treats the two as equally concerning.Resistance to antibiotics is becoming a huge global problem.

Just another failure of the free market just like none of them bother to fund research into tropical diseases because poor people can't pay much even though millions of them die each year. To compare they're tripping over themselves to help old white men get hard ons.Originally posted by kentonio View PostYay, free market!Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.
