MINNEAPOLIS U.S. scientists discovered a naturally-occurring agent that destroys the bacteria that cause meat, fish, eggs and dairy products to rot.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota reported the discovery of bisin -- a naturally-occurring compound produced by some types of bacteria.
The agent reduces the growth of bacteria including E. coli, salmonella and listeria and could lead to sandwiches that stay fresh for more than a year, The (London) Sunday Times reported

Very interesting.

If it’s so good at killing stuff, what happens if you eat it?

Wonder what it does to the necessary “bacteria” in the intestinal tract.

If its so good at killing stuff, what happens if you eat it? If guns are so good at killing people, why would anyone want one?

With any scientific advance, if it might result in more prosperity or human freedom the left will oppose it and fan the flames of fear and suspicion.

All this will do is breed ‘superbacteria’.

If guns are so good at killing people, why would anyone want one? Silly comment. Guns have triggers and sights. The question is whether this stuff does, or if it's more of a hand grenade, killing everything in sight.

Guns, unlike germs and vicious dogs, need a handler to “Pull the trigger” to unleash their fury. Dogs and Germs can/will kill all on their own.

My thought was Chevy Chase feeding years old milk to his family.
Then again, I heard a piece a few years ago about the US Military's
food lab. They came up with a PB&J sandwich, ready made
(anybody can edibly preserve the individual components), that
will keep for a few years.
To: slowhandluke
Silly comment. Guns have triggers and sights. The question is whether this stuff does, or if it's more of a hand grenade, killing everything in sight. Silly response. The article states that "Bisin was discovered by University of Minnesota microbiologist Dan O'Sullivan." Now let's see, would a microbiologist claim to be able to keep sandwiches and wine fresh for a year after discovering something that was a "hand grenade that killed everything in sight."?
You know, there IS a technical word for that - it's called a poison.
Which is why (take notes here), my comment about comparing it to guns was... funny. Because only liberals think guns just go off and... kill everything in sight.
Conservatives, microbiologists, and especially conservative microbiologists, know that some things can be aimed, and that's WHY they are interesting.
:: sigh :: Never mind.

(08/11/2011) University of Minnesota researchers have discovered and received a
patent for a naturally occurring lantibiotica peptide produced by a harmless bacteriathat could be added to food to kill harmful bacteria like Salmonella, E. coli, and listeria.

and could lead to sandwiches that stay fresh for more than a yearThe Madison Avenue wordsmiths are gonna have to work overtime to dress that up a bit.

Uh, no.
