[Daywolf]

"For the first time, researchers have found a person in the United States carrying bacteria resistant to antibiotics of last resort, an alarming development that the top U.S. public health official says could mean "the end of the road" for antibiotics."

Wat? You mean micro-evolution? You have links of previous reports of it in the US?

Com'on, man, geneticists slaving away in labs 24/7 to concoct this stuff, you could be a little more appreciative of their work! :/

Hospitals know about this which is why the strongest antibiotics are used in dire cases. They don't want the strands to adapt because they will.

Declining efficacy of antibiotics is a real problem that could send us back to the dark ages. We need nanobots fucking now!
