Deadly, antibiotic resistant bacteria may claim millions next year

They're considered a Developing Country.

they got nukes, not developing country.. should prioritize bathroom over nukes

Obviously the solution is to stop using biological/chemical warfare against germs and switch to conventional warfare.

Create an army of self-replicating hunter-killer nano-bots that can physically destroy the germs.

It's the perfect solution; there's absolutely no way it can backfire!

Shens. Evolution is false. These microbes are unchanging.

God created these superbugs because he's angry at homosexuality. All we have to do now is convince the antibiotic resistant bacteria to become homosexuals so God will eradicate them too!

We are the Bor.........wait, did that cat just jump into a box? OMG!!!!!! Look at the cat!


Then it rediscovers a certain "chan" site and lays waste to the world's population in a matter of hours, and arranges the 7 billion human corpses into a continent-spanning trollface.

But they are likely reproducing asexually. Does that count as being agnostic? :hmm:

I don't know? I was raised by a pack of wolves till I was 9! Then after that I was home schooled by my grandpappy who shouted at clouds due to a head injury! Don't judge me you fornicators! *shakes fist*

Posting from my bunker until the end of Bacteriageddon, awaiting the All Clear.

Its one of those things where you step out of the bunker and all the germs that go around have all evolved and you'll get like 10 superbugs at once, like when you travel, only without antibiotics.

You're best off just keeping the same level of contacts and not traveling. I work in a hospital and haven't gotten sick in years.

Hmm look what they found:

I saw that paper in Nature earlier today, but I'm a little skeptical of their claim that resistance will be slow to develop. There are many resistance mechanisms available to bacteria:

1) Efflux pumps which can remove the antibiotic from the cell. <-- these are great for dealing with low-level exposure and giving cells time to adapt in the other methods
2) An enzyme can come along and chemically modify the new drug
3) An enzyme can come along and break down the new drug
4) There could be a mutation in the drug target <---this seems to be the one they are suggesting would be unlikely for resistance to quickly develop

Just looking at the history of antibiotics and the fact that there has been over a billion years of chemical warfare and communication between single-celled organisms. Did you know that in the late '50s (or early 60s), two years after the introduction of streptomycin to fight tuberculosis, there were already reported cases of antibiotic resistance to streptomycin. But one big way they can stave off the resistance problem is using new drugs like this as only a last resort.
