New arms race: Science versus antibiotic-resistant superbugs

The death rate from bacterial infections plummeted following the discovery of penicillin. However, these microbes developed ways to resist our antibiotics. What threats do superbugs pose and what factors contribute to their emergence?

How is Hosni Mubarak even still alive?

sweet lord

Fun fact: Heineken actually had to change its logo during the cold war. I live within

There's a lot of talk about Iraq but I've never heard a British politician, journalist or general apologise for the outrageous lies told about the war in Afghanistan. The BBC in particular used to constantly say things like 'we've got them on the run', 'one last push', and 'we've got to fight them there to stop them coming here'. And now there's a deafening silence about the fact that the war was totally futile from the start.

Look at this now. AT&T is going to war with Google. That should make for quite the Porky battle. It should be fun to see who can buy the most politicians.

Rats can chew through concrete, I've heard.
We ought to test this principle some time.

Is anyone else terrified as I am?

it's reassuring in some sense, since "superbugs" could kill us far faster than climate change

Just passing to say that animu pics make anything 100% less relevant and I will not post lewds anymore because the last pic I've posted got deleted because image boards are dead, the entire internet is dead and everything is cancer now. Normies and moralfaggots have ruined everything.

It's not as big a deal as people make out. Your immune system remains the ultimate weapon against the microbes. It's a problem when you're immune system is using all of its resources dealing with a fuckload of other things; then you're fucked.

wtf we need to stop this

Good job no one actually watches those ads


If you squint hard enough you could pretend you were living in a communist society and maybe be happy for a moment.

Where are the lewds

What kind?

The anime makes everything irrelevant thing

t. liberals

OP, I thought you died! So happy to see this thread again.

not the first histrionic bitch to claim false rape accusations.
does anyone know her motives?

Holy shit, it's been 6 years?

Ffs, we have enough.

No doubt Rex Tillerson had some input on this? Wasn't this blocked for nearly a decade under Obama? Not that his admin gave a shit, either. DAPL showed this most recently.

Any Hungarian anons here that can give some personal context?

Never use antibiotics unless you're life is threatened. Good practice, imo.

Fucking Hell, this has been in the works for a while, looks like they finally got it.

Looks like a good story. Will read shortly.

That's the only story you took issue with? Goddamn, user…

its not about hatred of women, its about ethics is rape accusation

Sounds like every major US "news" station as well. People running with muh Russia bullshit from these same outlets are repeating history & many even outright say they're aware that they're doing so, but just don't care. Posadism, when?

yea.
also the isis bs will defensively end once they're destroyed.
all the terrorists attacks are made in the name of the cause (isis), its not some random fag who just went YOLO.
before that it was alqaida.
this is organized.

She wanted to get raped. Every woman that goes to the trouble of making up false accusations does.

nobody is hating on women, user.
saying that some women lie about rape isn't hatred of women.

The problem is extremist religious/jihadi mentality(usually used as a deflection from what's actually causing strife for a community in the first place). ISIS wasn't the first to use it & certainly won't be the last.

i agree with you. isis is just the spark that ignited a deeper problem.

The UAE have been spreading radical islam for wall over 30 years now. literally giving financial and military support to terrorists in order to topple unfriendly governments in the region.

and it worked, muslims are more radical now than they were 30 years ago.
veils, hijab, beards …. used to be extremely rare to see back then, even in muslim country.
now its almost like a fashion accessory.

isis is just the first target, taking them down will dramatically decrease the number of attacks.
after that the long job of social engineering has to start

Not really
A lot of those microbes are evolved to live in a high anti-biotic environment, hospitals
Once they leave that environment they don't have the evolutionary pressure anymore and the anti-biotic resistance dies out

Blame the angles for banning it m8


Who are you quoting?

Fuck yeah, thank you comrade

Trump firing banning Republican party as crypto-communist at eleven?

Eastern Europe is going to boil over in a few years anyway, but it never stops being hilarious.

To anyone with money, actually (which was already the case before, but now it's legal - expect databases with your browsing history being torrented sooner, rather than later).


Let me reassure you further: Capitalism can kill you even faster.

We've made breakthroughs in discovering new antibiotics in the last year. The problem before was that we can't study most 95% of bacterial species in the lab because they won't grow in lab conditions. One of the professors at my university came up with a way to culture bacteria in their natural environments, so we can study a ton more bacteria.

All of our current antibiotics come from bacteria or fungi, they produce them in order to compete in their environment. So it follows that the more species we can study, the more antibiotics we can find. Expect to see a ton more antibiotic discoveries in the next 10-20 years.

That being said, the reason for the rapid antibiotic resistance is porky using them liberally in industrial farming, a problem that remains unaddressed. So bacteria could develop resistance to these new antibiotics rapidly as well.

Anyway, read more in the attached if interested

on the topic of the white whore hoaxing her rape by "muh niggers". i think its about time we make a "watcha doin Holla Forums?" for the fake pedo and fake gang rape shit coming out of the right wing media right now. i know the migrants are basically chimps who do rape people constantly, but some of these stories are so far fetched i feel stupid humorig them and then a lot of the pedo shit, especially pizza gate is blatant black propaganda. there is absolutely no evidence besides circumstantial ties to sex offenders linking Podesta to pedophilia. Are there elite pedos? yes. do a lot of them hang out with the clinton's? yes. are faggot deep state useful idiot assets on a mongolian glass blowing forum going to crack the case? no. we should mock them constantly for resorting to schizo black propaganda. we should also start posting charts of the number of prominent WN who've been caught running drugs, prostitution, committing rape, being pedos etc. We should also post anti-Nazi, pedo-homo conspiracy shit about the right wing. there's a huge undercurrent of closet homo right wingers. ruffle their feathers. they're super sensitive about being called pedos or gay

hilarious

Big happening in Belarus. A capitalist state openly attacking the poor.

ACAB

I know how you feel

what the fug :D

Pizzagate has been extraordinary in how much it has exposed. Also, if it weren't for Pizzagate, Pedogate wouldn't exist right now.

You are acting like this isn't something that happens all the time.

Aren't most of the old communist leaders of E. Europe in Belarus?

Belarus is state capitalist.

Isn't that their problem if they have unemployed people then?
