superbugs

The problem is that when this is used frequently, the superbugs will evolve to survive to this treatment.

In practice it would probably mean that while almost nothing sticks, whatever does will be a total bitch to take off:) Just like antibiotics and superbugs.

Then there's the widespread use of low levels of antibiotics in hog barns which creates the perfect breeding ground for superbugs.

The future was in the news last week: superbugs spread through colonoscopy procedures in LA.

I wouldn't bother with the operation: unusual experience is interesting and superbugs made operations an uncertain adventure anyway.

What you're effectively asking is if the human immune system itself is creating superbugs.

Anyone else worried that using virotherapy may result in those virus' building up resistance, similar to what's happening now with antibiotics and superbugs.

Antibiotics, mismanaged, may give us superbugs; if feminism is done wrong, will it give us super-sexists?

This only makes me more concerned about future superbugs, not less.

What prevents us from cultivating connected tissuesamples, and breed the superbugs of the next generation in the lab, so that countermeasures are available when it happens?

> A 1,000-year-old treatment for eye infections could hold the key to killing antibiotic-resistant superbugs, experts have said.

No, actually the worst case is that the antibiotic period breeds superbugs that are both more virulent and harder to kill than those that came before.

Sure you can claim there's no "smoking gun" between Roundup use and the loss of the Monarch just like the FDA refused to acknowledge the link between antibiotics in livestock and superbugs in humans in the 1970s.

The emergence of "superbugs", bacteria resistant to antibiotics, is a well-known phenomenon and the basis of recent pressure on physicians/providers to discontinue prescribing antibiotics to humans when bacterial infection is absent, e.g., a viral infection is the problem.

Predictably, just like overuse of antibiotics in confined factory farms has created resistant "supergerms" leading to animals being overdosed with ever more powerful antibiotics, we now have huge swaths of the country infested with "superweeds" and "superbugs" resistant to glyphosate and Bt, meaning more volume of more toxic pesticides are being applied.
