Not really any outside the box thinking on this. The scientists used tried and true soil sampling + contemporary microbiological research lab technique + logistics management + project management + several wheel barrows of funding. Statistical analysis would pop out significant items for the first level screen for useful activities.
Ya shoulda been a scientist! You were way ahead of your time.
Did Mom give you a swat for sass?
Most people are carriers and have no idea. It sits there growing in your nose until one day, bam you get an open wound and somehow it gets in there, then it actually causes the infection (or not because it doesn’t).
It’s a crapshoot really.
Eat dirt!
Not the first antibiotic isolated from soil. The antibiotic lincomycin was so named because it was found in soil near Lincoln, Illinois.

Absolutely!
Especially in a warm damp city environment.
We carry everything we’ve contacted unless the environment is extremely dry.

New to them. It's probably existed for more than a few millennia.
So, they are gonna recreate dirt so they can charge us a bunch a money because they got a patent on dirt?
During sandlot games; if you got scratched or scraped, you were told to rub dirt in it and get back to playing. Of course you’d catch flak from Mom when you got home too. Now we can all go collectively stick our tongues out at our mothers and show them this article. Bring some dirt to rub into the wounds for after you do this though.
Hence the quip, “put some dirt on it - it’ll be OK”...
Well, I was smart enough to realize that it was bullshite, but for some reason the episode stayed with me my whole life.
The North Koreans and Venezuelans must be the healthiest people on Earth.
A huge percentage of the population are carriers of Staph. Many have resistance to antibiotics. A short read,

Many antibiotics have been found in soil. The question is does this novel antibiotic come a fungus or bacteria?
I hope you don’t take this guy seriously.
TB requires extreme perseverance, as it is a tennacious spirochete, but it can be conquered by natural means as long as it has not invaded the structura negra.””
Are you for real Mr. Editor? You need to put a SARC after your comments here. You’re a piece of work.
LOL. Good one Red, you old badger.
LOL.Bacteria are, in general, our best friends.””
Yeah, that’s why infectious agents have wiped out 100s of millions of people since the beginning. There are beneficial, harmless, and pathogenic bacteria and viruses, and fungi. You are out of your league with jibberish.
Thanks Gamecock.
