>Scientists may have identified a second patient in the United States infected with bacteria carrying the mcr-1 "superbug" gene, which makes bacteria highly resistant to a last-resort class of antibiotics.
>The gene is believed to have been found in a sample of E. coli bacteria from a patient in New York. The finding follows the discovery late last month of a patient in Pennsylvania who had a urinary tract infection caused by E. coli that carried the gene.

Well this should deal with the ass-eater problem.

Yup, this is the bad stuff.

how do you survive this?
how did they survive the black death

>>78988733

>>78988077
daily reminder that different species of bacteria can transfer resistance genes to one another

Finally.
>>78988866
so we're all good then
>>78988077
Time to go hide innawoods.

That can't be true. At least I hope it's not.
Why do we have FDA? It hurts more than it helps...
>>78988077
>Implying our immune system isn't more powerful than antibiotics
Bring it on viruses
>>78988077
GET ME THE HELL OUT OF NY
>>78988782
It's not actually a pandemic. It's an adaptation that is spreading among bacteria and making them immune to antibiotics, so infections will be much more dangerous.
>>78988077

>The authors of a new study published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy have found a highly drug-resistant form of Escherichia coli in bird droppings they sampled in Lithuania and Argentina. This form of E. coli is marked by the mcr-1 gene, which is what makes it resistant to the powerful, "last-resort antibiotic" called colistin. Study authors believe that the seagulls picked up the superbug after eating sewage or medical waste.

The weak all died and the strong lived.
Pretty egalitarian really when you look at how it affected all classes of people.
>>78988182
Are you fucking retarded mate?
I just started an ER residency
I'll probably be gone in the first wave
>>78989064
the immune system of the entire human species is quite strong thanks to polymorphism, but as individual humans, 99.9% of us are completely and utterly fucked
also, surgery will no longer be an option in a superbug world
>>78988077
Well, this shouldn't come as a surprise. Antibiotika only go so far since we cant invent new forms of it when bacteria increases its resistance.
>>78988077
WW3 canceled everybody. Looks like we pandemic instead.
>>78989246
he's talking about the fact that black people are notorious for not completing their antibiotic regimens, which gives bacteria the perfect environment to develop resistance genes such as mcr-1
>>78989046
Privatization during calamity or experimenting with chemical warfare and the likes. Laws only exist for the plebs. Take the red pill already, faggot.
>>78989064
You are literally a nigger who knows nothing about medicine or microbiology... or a noob

E. Coli > Urinary tract infection
GAY!
>>78989175
>>78988077
So this is how we all die in ten years.
This the human erase button.
>>78989309
looks like we gave evolution the finger for a while but it's back.
At Least as men we won't die in childbirth. Dating game is going to get pretty competitive though since you got go through a few wives to get a family going.
Yawn. Garbage. Read your Bible, skip to the end. That isn't how it ends. We're fine, for now anyway.
good, maybe they'll get off their asses and move forward with genetic engineering to fix all this shit
>>78988866
Kek, I played that game too
>>78988077
Antibiotic resistance is the biggest meme ever. Do you really think viruses are evolving? It's just a trick to get whites to give their kids enough pills to kill off their gut bacteria and make them autistic.
No problem:
>Phage therapy.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage_therapy
>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC90351/
>http://www.nature.com/news/phage-therapy-gets-revitalized-1.15348
There are viruses in nature that attack only bacteria. These viruses are incapable of infecting or harming multicellular lifeforms, and since they only attack individual bacteria, they are known as bacteriophages. Most of these phages (viruses) attack only specific types of bacteria, like only attacking just "strep" or only attacking the Cholera bacterium. Naturally, the bacteria die after the virus replicates within it and the explodes the cell to release its newly created viral clone army who then seek after new bacterium of the same type to infect.
The fun part is that you can purposefully introduce these phages into live human patients to kill off a bacterial infection. Essentially, the virus acts like a little army of terminators that seek out the infecting bacterium, and ONLY the infecting bacterium, and destroy them ALL. The best part is that the virus leaves the good native bacteria (like those in your gut) alone, while also not attacking your own human cells. These treatments are known to effect complete cures in infected patients, just like chemical antibiotics do.
Now here is the fun part. Bacteria have immune systems of a sort, like we do (though not exactly the same). However, this system is capable of handling only one challenge at a time. For instance, it can perfectly block an antibiotic from killing it, but then it loses its ability to defend against a virus that is going after it also.
This is how you overcome antibiotic resistance..
You inject phages AND an antibiotic at the same time, which leaves the bacteria with one of two options. Die via viral infection or by chemical assassination, because it can only defend against one of the attackers, but not both.
>The more you know.
>>78989358
>>78989628
more like a reset button, these thing can't kill everybody, but it will put the fear of death back into people.
>>78989451
This very hard. Preventing infectious bacteria from becoming resistant is why doctors always harp on finishing the compete dose, even if there are no longer symptoms. Any bacteria NOT killed due to incomplete dosing can develop the genes to become resistant as a result
>studying medical technology
>specifically pathology
How useful will I be
>>78989836
>but it will put the fear of death back into people.
Nope: >>78989746
Gotta love microbiology.
>>78989701
Funny that this post comes after mine, since that is how it ends.
>>78988182
There wont be a death of civilization. The mcr_1 or whatever doesn't make the bug resistant to everything just costalin which is concerning because it is the last resort and previously had not had any resistance. E-coli can be defeated by your body and theres a new batch of anti biotics on the way.
>>78989745
>Antibiotic resistance

Antibiotics fight harmful bacteria and not viruses.
>>78989746

The problem is it takes time to adapt, and in that time many people can die.
We should have had a solution in place before, but the CDC is always too busy studying lesbian mating habits than actually doing its fucking job.

I hope it works because I really don't want to live in the hellscape that is a world without antibiotics.

Actually, Turkey is the country that uses the most antibiotics.
>>78988077
I hope humanity develop nanomachines before bacterias/viruses become resistant to every drug and kill us all.
>>78988077
We'll be fine.
No more eating out...time to get serious with this homesteading.
>>78990165
You can't use meds for the common cold idiot. Its a fucking virus.
>>78991816
We probably will.
It's the rest of the world that is going to be in serious trouble and that isn't without its geopolitical consequences.
>>78988782
Go and buy as much food and water as possible, and quarantine yourself in your house. Keep in mind these bugs will kill off the old, the sick, and the weak. If you are fit and healthy, with a strong immune system, you could survive just fine. If you have to go out in public, wear a full body covering, gloves, and a gas mask. Once your done sterilize evreything
>>78991589
>>78990935
There's another way of treating antibiotic resistance. It's a gene editing tool called CRISPR and people are trying to cut the resistant genes away from bacteria.

Africa and South America will be fucked. Asia too.
>>78992677
Be prepared either way man.
>>78992310
i guess they just change the genes and then spread the altered bacteria everywhere so it out competes the old one? i read something similar with mosquitos, they want to breed out malaria carrying genes or something
maybe this will make faggots concentrate on more important shit than le intersectional oppression wars. help us, sweet jesus. praise be to kek.
If this spread the left would be killing third worlders out of fear.
Thats just how they are, self serving and care about no one outside their circle.
>>78993437
>If this spread the left would be killing third worlders out of fear.
No they wouldn't, they're literally suicidal. They'd willingly infect themselves with these diseases and intentionally spread them in white countries to help us check our privilege.

Same with super gonorrhea:
