100 Million Times More Difficult: Revolutionary Dual Action Antibiotic Makes Bacterial Resistance Nearly Impossible

But is it safe and effective?

[shotgun]

100 million X more resistant.

So you’re telling me there’s a chance?

[Tench_Coxe]

What does it do to bacteria in your gut biome?

I would guess the use for this biotech would have to be used in a controlled environment.

[Bob434]

Awesome, now I can get antibiotics everytime I have a cold lol j/k

[Red Badger]

I would imagine that it would kill all your ‘good’ bacteria as well, but that can be restored, in different ways............

[Red Badger]

I worry about that ‘corrupting DNA structure.’ part...............

[Afterguard]

Yup. Hence, my comment...

[Opinionated Blowhard]

The one thing we know from history is that bacteria ultimately will find a way to develop a resistance to this.

[Red Badger]

They didn’t say it was impossible......................

[Jim Noble]

the researchers calculated

So this puff piece is not the result of real-world testing but based on a math model?

I'll wait.

And the third eye growing in the center of your forehead is a bonus!

[BipolarBob]

may cause stomach pains, gas and bloatiness, flatulence, erectile dysfunction, osteoporosis, cancer, obesity, blindness, dementia, hair falling out (baldness), respiratory problems, coma, death and bacterial resistance.

[zeestephen]

Great news, but...

Does it also attack the health essential bacteria in the stomach and the small intestine?

[Red Badger]

Most likely. Bacteria is bacteria...............

[RouxStir]

They are signing up volunteers a larger study...none of the patients survived in the first study...but the good news is that neither did the bacteria.

Just joking...that is great news. I’ve been “lucky” enough to have had several flesh-eating bacterial infections in the last 10 years. So I appreciate the efforts in this research

Bacteria are smarter than antibiotics.

[MeanWestTexan]

That’s what yogurt, refrigerated sauerkraut (with live cultures), fiber, and pro-biotics are for.

Had a persistent ENT infection where they put me on two antibiotics for two weeks with strict instructions to eat yogurt 1X/Day, sauerkraut 1X/Day, and take fiber and probiotics with every meal.

Still been rough!
