>For the first time, researchers have found a person in the United States carrying a bacteria resistant to antibiotics of last resort, an alarming development that the top US public health official says could mean "the end of the road" for antibiotics.
>The antibiotic-resistant strain was found last month in the urine of a 49-year-old woman in the US state of Pennsylvania. Department of Defence researchers determined that carried a strain of E. coli resistant to the antibiotic colistin, according to a study published on Thursday. The authors wrote that the discovery "heralds the emergence of a truly pan-drug resistant bacteria."
>Colistin is the antibiotic of last resort for particularly dangerous types of superbugs, including a family of bacteria known as CRE, which health officials have dubbed "nightmare bacteria." In some instances, these superbugs kill up to 50 per cent of patients who become infected. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has called CRE among the country's most urgent public health threat.
>"It basically shows us that the end of the road isn't very far away for antibiotics -- that we may be in a situation where we have patients in our intensive-care units, or patients getting urinary tract infections for which we do not have antibiotics," CDC Director Tom Frieden in an interview Thursday.

Now thats what I call total population death
Now that what i call having no race war becayse the superbugs just killed all of us
thats what I call a modern day black plague

it was going to happen anyway, eventually, it is just a matter of time, it is called evolution

These retards cannot into medicine and just think Antibiotics would work on almost everything, it won't...
It really should only be used for bacterial infection, not common illnesses.

The thing is we dont have stronger antibiotics famalam.
The chinks been dumping anti-biotics like pez into their livestock and now we are all going to die.
Good thing it gets to -30 up here. The only downside to the southern states is you get all those foreign diseases like West nile, Zika, and Niggers.

>>75256175
Phage therapy.
Essentially, you use bacteriophages (viruses that only attack bacteria), to cure the patient. What you have to do is get an idea of what kind of bacterium you are dealing with by taking a culture (an already commonly performed procedure). Then, you administer high doses of actual live bacteriophages to the patient that are specific to that type of bacteria (virus only infects and destroys the target bacteria, not all bacteria). The virus then goes to work destroying the infection, like a little army of terminators.
These treatments are just as capable of producing complete eradication of infections as antibiotics. In fact, phage therapy can be combined with antibiotics for an even bigger punch. This is because the receptors and systems which the antibiotic-resistant bacteria use to evade the antibiotic are also what the bacteria has to use to defend itself against phage viruses.... and here is the fun part.....
The bacteria cannot use its defense systems to fight both the antibiotic and the virus at the same time. It is one or the other. So, by combining the two, the bacteria is given a choice as to how it wants to die. It cannot resist both types of attack.

>>75256175
Who cares.

Well, antibiotics is already used in massive amounts elsewhere.... Im not sure what the difference is other than in how fast it will allow these super resistant bact to flourish.
>>75256397
>1.4m ppl die every year to diarrhea
wtf how lel
>>75261618
Dehydration.
Though I doubt a single death from diarrhea is from 1st world country since anyone who gets dehydrated from diarrhea just ends up drinking something.
This is how Western civilisation will collapse.
>>75261604
thats the difference... we'd evolve alongside the bacteria at a natural pace (although this doesn't guarantee a bacteria won't evolve that'll destroy us)
and it means the bacteria doesn't evolve as fast
>>75261340
Because a UTI isn't the fucking black plague.
She recovered anyway.
>>75261183
This. It's going to be the next-generation of dealing with bacteriological infections, but unlike antibiotics you can't just shotgun in a bunch of them and expect results, it's disease-specific. Combination therapy however is really, really fucking effective- more so than antibiotics alone especially vs. resistant strains.
It'll still likely be very good at killing off third-world countries in droves if antibiotic-resistant strains become dominant there. Which is good.
>>75261183
underrated post
Apparently the Russians have been doing this for a long time.
>>75261604
>>75261795
the thing is in nature these 'superbug' cant grow because the not resistant ones eat all the food
by repeatedly using antibiotics you basicly give them a chance to grow so this was inevitable
>>75261618
Diarrhea can be insanely dangerous in 3rd world countries. Having no access to clean water can really fuck you up.
>>75261795
I can see how it would be more likely for such bacteria, yes, but I'd still guess (without any particular reason) that they'd still start flourishing in the west eventually without the help of the chinese.
>>75261868
>if antibiotic-resistant strains become dominant there
The antibiotic stewardship in some other countries is appalling. You can literally walk into a store and get anything you want without a Rx. If they don't get their shit together then they'll have plenty of resistant strains to deal with.

Guys we aren't ALL GOING TO DIE
It will mostly be 3rd world cucks that live in dirty disgusting conditions. In the first world it won't be nearly as bad. As long as you keep clean you'll be fine
Just be grateful that it isn't a virus

In Sweden you can, because of conflicting laws, order any prescription medication (non-narcotic, non-AAS (etc?)) from within the EU (or schengen) without a script. The customs will just forwards the package to you (in case they do open it).

To add on to this:
OP:
>Colistin is the antibiotic of last resort for particularly dangerous types of superbugs
The article:
>The Bal Reddys’ farm is an example of what that laxity allows. The logbook, labeled “farmer’s flock record,” shows they were instructed to begin a series of antibiotic regimens on Oct. 25, the day after the couple took delivery of the newly hatched chicks. A solution combining enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and colistin was started on Nov. 19 and continued for six days. The bottle’s label says it’s an “animal feed supplement” that should be mixed in drinking water for the “prevention of respiratory infections.”
>A solution combining enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and colistin
>>75262465
This lol. The Bible is all you need.
>>75261183
I remember reading about this years ago during a virology course I took years ago in uni. I think it was first tested in russia successfully. But people act like antibiotic resisntant bacteria is the end of humanity. This goes to show that there are other options out there. It's a matter of research allocation. Phage therapy does have the inherent risk of the virus adapting and 'changing targets', so to speak, but there are ways around that. It's been too long for me to remember details.

I see this multiple times a week. This old dentist gives out multiple prescriptions a week for stupid things like tooth ache or for things that don't need an antibiotic but just a filling or proper cleaning. They keep telling him not to give this much antibiotics but he just won't listen. Probably since that's how it was done 40 years ago

>>75261992
Part of why the whole Indian meme of "designated shitting streets" came to be IRL- water quality that bad leads to frequent bowel-wringing shitfests, even in places where people are used to exposure to those bacterial infections. Poor sanitation doesn't just have to mean cholera, after all. E coli or listeria will do someone in just fine.

I have a plan for this and it's working for me so far, I haven't been sick in five years.
Be me, work out lift and do yoga, don't take any kind of antibiotics or goto the doctor for any reason. If something happens I treat myself, my father was a navy medical coreman and trained me first aid for trauma.
No insurance or Obama care, don't fuck with that shit or file taxes.
Grow a huge beard and don't ever get infections, take tons of probiotics that I ferment myself.
Never get sick, age slowly.
Something serious happens to me, make my-way home and treat myself. If it's really serious or I wake up in a hospital refuse treatment. If a doctor ever tells me I have cancer, I am literally going to walk out of the hospital and go to the nearest desert and live in a cave.
Basically fuck this consumer medical system.
>>75262650
>But people act like antibiotic resisntant bacteria is the end of humanity.
This. We've lived without antibiotics for a very very long time and we lived in squalor then too, yet we survived.
When a supervirus comes about though, we are absolutely fucked and the only way to stop it will be to evolve an immunity to it.
anti-biotic resistant bacterial and man-made superviruses spook the fuck out of me
people are scared of floods and earthquakes and world market crashes, but i'm 99% sure if shit hits the fan, it'll be because of a superdisease
someone tell me my anxieties are unfounded pls
>>75262866
Environmental contamination, basically.
If everything around you is dirty enough, you're getting it on/in food products as well. That's how we've had multiple cases of stuff like salads causing outbreaks in the US from vegetables that ended up getting contaminated, or meat prepping plants that resulted in the same things with animal products.

Well assuming a supervirus is impervious to say a vaccine, what can we do against it?
You can't cure a virus. All that needs to happen is a strain of the flu that is a little more aggressive and has a higher death rate and we're fucked.

It will happen, like throughout history. Even the viruses that killed our ancestors is encoded in our DNA. 10 percent of our DNA are the dead genetic codes of viruses that used to ravage the human population early in our history. 10,000 or so genes. So weve been in some knid of Genetics arms race with viruses for most of oir history and in the last 100 years, we were winning, by medicine and antibiotics, which allowed our population to quadruple.
