Researchers from the Romanian Academy have discovered a bacterial strain that has been frozen in Romania's Scarisoara Ice Cave for 5,000 years.
Carefully extracting a sample, the researchers tested it against 10 common antibiotics, including those used to treat tuberculosis, colitis, and UTIs.
'The Psychrobacter SC65A.3 bacterial strain isolated from Scarisoara Ice Cave, despite its ancient origin, shows resistance to multiple modern antibiotics and carries over 100 resistance–related genes,' said study author Dr Cristina Purcarea.
Previous research has shown that other strains from this genus are known to cause infections in humans, as well as animals.
In their new study, the team set out to understand how bacteria have adapted to cold environments.
The team drilled a 25–metre ice core representing 13,000 years from an area in Scariosoara Ice Cave dubbed the 'Great Hall'.

This is the opening scene to a horror movie. The next scene is half the population of the planet is dead or has turned into zombies.
Don't tell the CIA, CDC, or WHO. Their idea of "world health" is fewer people. Hence "EcoHealth Alliance."
Globalists have a snarky way of advertising their true intentions, laughing up their sleeves the whole time with the belief the public at large won't get it.
Just what the globalists have been looking for.
“Researchers from the Romanian Academy have discovered a bacterial strain that has been frozen in Romania’s Scarisoara Ice Cave for 5,000 years ... shows resistance to multiple modern antibiotics ... “
Chinese scientists have been seen hanging out around the Romanian Academy. (sarcasm)
Oh great! Something else for some Chinese lab to enhance and weaponize.
Fauci is still alive. So are his close friends in Communist China.
He’s ready to make a deal.
yep, this is how it all ends
the chinese are rushing to study it
how soon before the chinese steal it and cook up a big batch to destroy the world?
Sounds serious, not as deadly as DemocRats, but serious.
“Psychrobacter” is a good name for an apocalyptic plague bacteria. It might join the T-virus, the Satan Bug and the Solanum virus (World War Z).
The Deep State just found their next pandemic!
Kill it with fire.

If it’s resistant to any modern anti-biotics, it’s because they’ve been modifying it in a lab.
This is exactly what the Global Warming scaremongers have been bellowing about for decades:
Ancient pathogens released from melting ice could wreak havoc on the world
Ah the hubris of scientists. One day it will kill you. Be ironic if a population was all killed because it’s scientists wanted to build a better weapon.
Dr Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates leave their bat cave, enter the chat….
